Hi,

I've build a connection between a FRITZ!Box and a strongSwan server.  
On the virtual server where strongSwan is located I've added a virtual  
interface and configured the ip 192.168.0.10/24 on it.

Now I'm trying to ping each side of the vpn with no luck.

On the serverside (strongSwan) I can see the incoming icmp requests,  
but cannot see an answer:

tcpdump -i eth0 dst host 192.168.0.10 or src host 192.168.0.10
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes
12:25:44.421577 IP 192.168.2.4 > 192.168.0.10: ICMP echo request, id  
10277, seq 3537, length 64
12:25:45.421483 IP 192.168.2.4 > 192.168.0.10: ICMP echo request, id  
10277, seq 3538, length 64
12:25:46.425221 IP 192.168.2.4 > 192.168.0.10: ICMP echo request, id  
10277, seq 3539, length 64

My ipsec.conf:

conn fritzbox
         aggressive=no
         keyingtries=0
         type=tunnel
         left=<strongSwan public ip>
         leftsubnet=192.168.0.0/24
         leftfirewall=yes
         lefthostaccess=yes
         leftnexthop=%defaultroute
         #
         ike=aes256-sha-modp1024
         esp=aes256-sha1-modp1024
         #
         right=<hostname of fritzbox>
         rightid=@<hostname of fritzbox>
         rightsubnet=192.168.2.0/24
         leftnexthop=%defaultroute
         #
         ikelifetime=4h
         keylife=1h
         #
         authby=secret
         auto=add

Starting strongSwan gives me the following last line:
Jan 22 12:27:44 linux vpn: + <hostname of fritzbox> 192.168.2.0/24 ==  
<fritzbox public ip> -- <strongSwan public ip> == 192.168.0.0/24

"route" shows me:
192.168.0.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0

Any hints what I made wrong or where I have to tweak the settings?
