Your VPN gateway is either not listening on UDP port 500
or the response got lost somehow. Is strongSwan running on
moon?

-----------------
Andreas,
I am able to ping from moon to carol, and from carol to moon.
I run wireshark on both and when I run on carol,
~$ sudo ipsec up home
There is nothing in wireshark using filter udp.port == 500
In other words, there is no outbound traffic from carol.

Here is my setup

[moon ubuntu server 11.10]--ethernet cable--[Netgear wndr3700 wireless
router]--ethernet cable--[alice? company intranet] --wifi-- [carol
ubuntu laptop]

When I connect from carol laptop to router, I am able to browse the
company intranet.
Strongswan is running on moon. See below

~$ sudo ipsec statusall
