Hi,
i used the tutorial about USG300 as a starting point;

the use case :

Laptop (<-wifi->) iPhone [personal hot spot w/NAT] <- [3G internet] -> ZyWALL USG20

Laptop runs Shrew 2.2.0 on WinXP Home 32bit

ZyWall runs f/w 3.00(BDQ.4)

Shrew VPN fails with message 'invalid message from gateway'

Phase1 on both is set to exactly the same as per the linked tutorial;

Looking at 'decode' grade log with packet dump options enabled [all but DNS]
it seems that all is going well until it gets

(lines that look good
<- recv IKE packet [gw public ip address]:500 -> [laptop priv ip address]:500 ( 228 bytes )

0x [a few lines of packet dump]

DB phase1 found
DB phase1 ref increment ( ref count = 1, obj count = 1 )
ww initiator port vales should only float once per session
ii processing phase1 packet ( 228 bytes )
=< cookies [some hash]
...(until about here)
=< message 00000000
<< ignoring duplicate key exchange payload
!! unprocessed payload data
<< ignoring duplicate nonce payload
!! unhandled phase1 payload 'unknown' ( 250 ) [this figure changes with every run]
!! unprocessed payload data
ii sending peer DELETE message

If this is not enough, I'll try to post more log.

Hope the above makes sense

Lukasz
