Okay,

It took 3 reboots until I got anywhere but atlast I was able to connect.
(1st time it couldn't connect to the adapter so I rebooted, second time
ipsecd crashed on trying to connect so I rebooted. 3rd time was the charm..

The good news is I only got 1 IP address. However...

When it did finally connect it took a good while until I was actually able
to ping the remote side. Secondly DNS isn't working. This isn't a shock:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection* 18:

   Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Shrew Soft Virtual Adapter #4
   Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : AA-AA-AA-AA-AA-00
   DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
   Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection* 11:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Shrew Soft Virtual Adapter
   Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : AA-AA-AA-AA-AA-01
   DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
   Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . :
fe80::69d7:9724:a34a:fd55%20(Preferred)
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 172.27.129.3(Preferred)
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
   DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : fec0:0:0:ffff::1%1
                                       fec0:0:0:ffff::2%1
                                       fec0:0:0:ffff::3%1
   NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Disabled


I notice 2 things. Firstly it created 2 adapters. Secondly the DNS servers
are IPv6 it appears which doesn't really help us:-)

I will test more later today.
