   Martin -   
      
   Just to be clear, my router is the one that is fine - it's my user's router   
   which is the one that doesn't work, even though the settings look pretty   
   similar.  As for the protocol rules - there are no rules specifically   
   forbidding the outgoing ports.  And if so, surely I wouldn't have had a VPN   
   connection in the first place?  Looking at the logs, it seems that the   
   initial handshaking seems to go fine.  It's only when I ping a host on the   
   other side of the firewall when no reply is found.
