Sean,

What type of gateway are you connecting to? Have you tried setting the 
log output of the IKE daemon to debug and examined the output? See this 
link for more details ...

Typically a 'gateway not responding' error is due to a configuration 
issue. Are you using main or aggressive mode?

Thanks,
