I had vpnc working on Ubuntu 7.10 on a physical PC, but I stopped using 
that physical PC a couple of months ago.

I copied my working vpnc config file to Ubuntu 8.10 running in a 
VirtualBox guest with NAT networking, running VirtualBox 2.1.4 on a 
Windows Vista Ultimate host.  I can start vpnc on Ubuntu either from the 
command line or through Network Manager.  The vpnc process on Ubuntu 
connects, but then ssh connections from Ubuntu timeout trying to connect 
to servers on the VPN ("ssh -v" just says eventually "connection timed 
out").

If I run the Cisco VPN client on Vista, I can ssh into the VPN from 
Vista or the Ubuntu guest (in other words, it works).

I'm not a networking expert, but I don't see any reason why running vpnc 
on the guest OS wouldn't just work.

Any suggestions?  Is it something to do with ICMP?
