      I am in urgent need for advice on why my pfSense IPSEC VPN tunnel is not working.  The remote end is an IPCop firewall, the other end pfSense 2 BETA snapshot dated 10 June.  I tested this before on another pfSense box to the same IPCop server, using exactly the same settings and it worked just fine.  However on this pfSense box, the only difference is I am not using DHCP for my WAN interface but a static configuration for DSL, with a static GW. This is my log:

        That means that the settings did not match. Check them all again, particularly the phase 2 encryption settings.

          Yep I figured as much.  All settings matched.  The one that broke it was "Negotiate compression" on the IPCop.  When I disabled that it worked.
