FVS318N - IPsec - Android. Tunnel establishes but drops within seconds.
I'm having a rather frustrating issue with connecting to the FVS318N via the Android built-in VPN client. I have verified all the settings are correct on both ends and the tunnel comes up just fine ...

Thank you Dane and Samir,
I have tried the VPN client in the old thread and still have the same issue.
One difference I noted from those who posted in the old thread, was that they were not able to establish the tunnel at all.
I had no problems bringing up the tunnel, just that it drops very shortly afterwards.
The way I had configured the FVS and the Android built-in client pretty much mirrored the recommened settings in the thread anyway.
I'll examine the logs and see if I can find any more clues.
Cheers,

Hi red2thebones,
Since you mentioned that you have no problem bringing up the VPN tunnel using your Android device, kindly post screenshots and the step-by-step guide on how you did it for the benefit of other community users as well as the community might help possibly isolate the problem why the the tunnel drops shortly. :smileyhappy:

I second the suggestion by DanaA. Post up how you got it working and maybe that will help us help you figure out how to get it working. :)
