Please let me know how I should try to debug this. thanks in advance.

Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2009-02-04 21:06:58 UTC

That seems like the DPD is broken for your case. It could be switched off by adding 'DPD idle timeout (our side) 0' to /etc/vpnc/default.conf (If NetworkManager-vpnc does not override the config - I do not know much about NetworkManager-vpnc as I do not use it.)

Comment 2 Ben 2009-02-11 22:18:35 UTC

Thanks a lot Tomas,

selecting [x] disable dead peer detection in NetworkManager-vpnc fixed this.

Closing has not a bug. Sorry for the slow response but I thought bugzilla would automaticaly add me in CC, but it did not.
