Once again thanks. I issued the route command and I see this:

192.168.100.0   ip-pub.fastwebn 255.255.255.0   UG    0      0        0
eth0

This is either when I have interface=%defaultroute or
interface="ipsec0=eth0" in my ipsec.conf. I am stuck, checked
/var/log/messages and secure with no results, don't really know what to
try next. Maybe step back and review the NAT iptables rules to just pass
anything incoming and outgoing traffic so to be sure packets don't get
dropped there. Comments, troubleshooting suggestions always welcome.

Have a nice day
