Try using ipsecmon to view if the Security Associations are being created or not.
Network access over an ipsec tunnel can be slow and netbios name resolution probably
will not work if it is broadcast instead of wins or lmhosts files. Try accessing a
share using IP address as in \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\sharename. If you are trying to
connect through a router firewall you will need to configure it for ipsec ports as
shown in KB below and look in the firewall logs for dropped traffic from the Linksys
ipsec endpoint router. --- Steve
