Hi Guys,

I'm trying to get a VPN Working from IpCop (openSWAN) and a Draytek
Vigor 2600.  According to the IpCop documentation if you can't ping and
traceroute the remote end forget it.  Well I can ping and get a to the
Web interface on the Draytek but traceroute fails.  

If I run traceroute from a server in harbour exchange I end up with 

16  217.41.172.73 (217.41.172.73)  16.215 ms  14.693 ms  20.950 ms
17  217.41.216.2 (217.41.216.2)  8.003 ms  10.290 ms  8.670 ms
18  217.32.86.6 (217.32.86.6)  6.667 ms  6.731 ms  6.694 ms
19  host86-128-210-103.range86-128.btcentralplus.com (86.128.210.103)
19.059 ms  18.888 ms  17.850 ms

If I tracetroute from my home sysytem


12  * * *
13  217.41.216.2 (217.41.216.2)  38.330 ms  33.377 ms  36.048 ms
14  217.32.86.6 (217.32.86.6)  37.563 ms  35.699 ms  33.375 ms
15  * * *

And it doesn't get any further.

So given that both traces get to  217.32.86.6 and the 86.128.210.103 the
next place why does it fail from my home system?  

Does anyone have a working OpenSWAN VPN I can use to test with to try
and sort out where my problem lies?

Tom.
