I have tried to get this to work unsuccessfully, but make sure that under Firewall/VPN, that you add a rule saying allow source IPSEC to destination any.  My L2TP connection to my Windows server only worked after I did this.  Let me know if you get it to work and if you could post a walk-through it would be great.  I followed a walk-through on endian.zendesk.com for a road warrior connection but it didn't work.  I don't have a static ip address I am not sure if that is why it fails.

I am having the same problem. Now configured 4 Units - all the same result (so I am making the same mistake?)
Connecting 100% from IPcop to IPcop, cannot convert from IPcop to Endian due to this issue.
Using ADSL's with "All traffic" routed to "Red-interface" - can PING both side from both sides - Web-interface also working 100%

Configuration is easy and straight forward:
1) Menu -> VPN -> IPsec
2) Global settings -> Enable (activate all debug for testing)
3) Connection status and control -with "Use a pre-shared key:" and as per per IPcop
4) Firewall -> VPN Firewall turned Off

I must be missing something  :'(

I will hugely appreciate any assisting/guidance and have TeamViewer to double check my configuration.
Thank you in advance  ;D
