It seems the replies from l2tpd do not reach the XP client. Could you check with tcpdump on eth0/lo to see where these are going? Perhaps rp_filter was set to 1, but that can't be because recent versions of Openswan disable rp_filter automatically.
Also check the troubleshooting section at: http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/freeswan-l2tp.html#Troubleshooting
Error 678 does not really ring a bell with me (the MS info on this error is hopeless). Perhaps enabling PPP logging on the XP machine would help.
[lns default] ip range = 206.181.252.108-206.181.252.109 local ip = 206.181.252.110
Hm, these look like public IP addresses. I don't know the details of your setup but are you sure this is what you want?
