iPhone VPN used to work for me talking to an FVS338 running 3.0.7-24 having followed the guide at http://vpncasestudy.com/download/usefuldoc/ipsec_with_Iphone.pdf.
A while ago I noticed that the VPN was no longer working; I got to login and the VPN appeared to connect, but no traffic would pass. I suspect it may have been caused by an iPhone update. I'm now running version 5.1.1 (9B206).
Anyway, I've found a fix!
In the VPN configuration on the iPhone I set the Group Name to be non-blank (I'm using iPhone).
I then found the message "[FVS338] [IKE] Aggressive mode of (invalid)[(invalid)] is not acceptable._" in the VPN log on the FVS338, so I changed the IKE Policy Exchange Mode to "Aggressive", rather than the "Main" specified in the setup guide.
It now works!
