Can you send a new iked.log and screenshots now that you've made the
change? Also, is there some other machine that you can ping that is not
the gateway?  While the gateway should respond, sometimes routers
don't like to be pinged "from the inside" if you will, which is what
kind of happens when you're trying to ping from the VPN assigned
address. (That said, I'm sure you're doing the same ping from the
NetGear client and it probably does work fine.)

The pings... is it always that you connect, ping, then can't ping
again?  Once you can't ping, does it ever start to ping later?
