Comment 12 for bug 479632

Hi,

I am not sure about having the same problem.
I have 10.04 official, fresh installation. My vpnc "disconnects" after about 16 minutes.

I tried various setups, tried Makovick-patches, and I reached the point, where there are no error messages, everything seems to be okay, but the other side of the vpn is not reachable... :(

With nm-applet:
Connection successful, got the login banner. Everíthing is okay, speed is right.

With patched vpnc (vpnc-0.5.3r449) nearly the same:
Login, and login banner, counter starts to tick.
Ticks and ticks, but after 16 minutes ping works with 100% packet loss.

Earlier I tried vpnc-nortel (0.5.3) and the unpatched vpnc (vpnc-0.5.3r449). Brought the same. There was some error messages.
First the "tun0: Disabled Privacy Extensions" informational, and when the connection begun to hang up, I got two kinds of error messages: "got late ike packet" and "got packet with wrong cookies". They came about 3-4 times, and then the connection completely stopped.

Here is the config file, which I tried:
--
IPSec ID WORKDOMAIN
IPSec secret WORKDOMAINPASSWORD
IPSec gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Xauth username MYUSERNAME
Xauth password MYUSERPASSWORD
Domain WORKDOMAIN
IKE Authmode psk
Target Networks 192.168.110.0/24
DNSUpdate No
DPD Idle timeout (our side) 0
NAT Traversal Mode cisco-udp
#NAT Traversal Mode force-natt
Enable Single DES
Local Port 10000

Sorry about my "not-so-fluent" English.
Anybody can help?
