Any progress with this guys? I am also trying to get something running between a router and my laptop (using kvnc) but I am failing with this error: ===================================== info: Gateway hostname (my.remote_router.com) resolved to "XX.XXX.XXX.XX". error: [racoon helper err] /home/michael/.kde3.5/share/apps/kvpnc//setkey.ROUTER.sh: line 6: -f: command not found error: [racoon err] racoon: must be root to invoke this program. ===================================== I am not sure that I want to run kvnc as root - after all it is a GUI application ... Worth nothing that unlike the OP my remote router is not running MS l2tp, but IPSec with PSK. -- Regards, Mick
