Hi Steve,

You are running into a bug that was fixed a long time ago. The client was
indeed sending 255.255.255.255 as the identity when it should have been
sending the local address used as the tunnel endpoint ...

I'm afraid the only way to correct this issue will be to use a newer version
of the client software.

Hope this helps,

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for that, it is indeed helpful.

As I'm new to Ubuntu and I am not yet ready to upgrade to 9.04, which I
understand includes *ike 2.1.4+dfsg-1* as standard and which I understand to
be the latest stable version of the Shrew Network Manager.  And as it
appears that Shrew isn't available through the Ubuntu repository having
already searched for it, I wonder if there is another repository I could add
that has the latest stable version of Shrew?  I can't see any mention
anywhere on your website.  From reading your website it seems that the only
method of upgrading to ike 2.1.4+dfsg-1 would be to manually install it, a
process I find quite daunting.

Any light you could shed would be most welcome.

Thanks for your help.

Steve
