Julien,

Next time you send log file information to the list, please replace the 
gateway IP with x.x.x.x unless this is a lab test. However, since you 
did include the gateway address I did a quick test against it. The only 
information I entered was the gateway IP, set the authentication mode, 
and set a fictitious ID and pre-shared key. It immediately responded 
with the 2nd packet in the exchange which is more than you are seeing.

My advice would be to upgrade to 2.1.6 beta 10. If you have a PCF file, 
re-import the PCF file. If you have problems with that, send me the log 
output directly. Otherwise, rebuild your configuration from scratch. I 
would just start by entering the gateway address, setting the auth mode 
to Mutual PSK+Axuth, setting the local ID to the cisco group name and 
entering the group password as the PSK. That should be it.
