Hmmm... I witnessed  IPSec working through the Linksys router... With the
firmware rollback, it worked fine....

AFAIK, IPSec does not yet work through a LinkSys router.  They expect to
have it working RSN (real soon now)...

There is a lot of great information on IPSec and NAT firewalls (and why
IPSec can't work through a NAT - but a "broken" version of it can) in the
archives.  Also feel free to look at www.freeswan.org
