I've been working on this for *waaaaay* too long, with no apparent success. I have racoon and l2tpt running, but no network addresses in the VPN.

Does anyone understand the actual procedure(s) for making a VPN like, l2tp, IPSEC "pre-shared secret" connection, and wish to elaborate just a bit on the issues (config files, possible values) involved?

I mean, the ebuild for ipsec-tools doesn't even put in half the config files... as if any of this could work at all without them?

Any help appreciated. :(

Cheers,
