[Vpn-help] Phase 2 failing while connection to Cisco 2800 Router

I've just tried all the PFS groups and each one fails.

It's a possibility that the gateway is IPsec over TCP but surely if that
where the case then the Phase 1 part would also fail? Also would that
not be indicated in the Cisco Log file?

Stephen,

The negotiation looks healthy other than the NO-PROPOSAL-CHOSEN message 
being received. Have you tried a few likely PFS settings for phase2 
proposals? The other possibility is that the gateway is configured to 
required IPsec over TCP which is proprietary and unsupported at this
time.
