   Yep. Just up to a few minutes back, I had the same problem. But I think   
   I found the solution:   
      
   * the remote address has to be a subnet which is not in the   
   addressrange of the destination network.   
   * NAT Traversal has to be enabled, if there are some other routers in   
   between (e.g. You are behind a cable/DSL-Modem with router)   
   * both networks may not share the same address-range. (e.g.   
   192.168.1.0) unless NAT is setup properly. (This I am investigating   
   further)   
      
   HTH
