Hi Tobias,

thank you for the explanation. I was not sure what the issue was, but I 
figured that the port 4500 was incorrect. NAT-Traversal was already 
disabled on the Lancom, however, with also disabling MOBIKE now I only 
see port 500 and by your explanation I understand now a little better 
what the issue was.

Best regards,
Valeri
