  Have you tried running the server in debugging mode, as suggested in
the FAQ, README, "man" page, web pages, and daily on this list?

  You've given a lot of information... most of which is useless.

  <sigh>  Please read the documentation and the FAQ for how to create a
"users" file entry.  There are a number of mistakes here, including a
mis-spelled attribute.

  You do realize that those secrets are different, right?  And that they
should be the same?  And that if you ran the server in debugging mode,
it would *tell* you this?

  No.  The router is sending a packet, and not receiving a response.

  You've done many things wrong.  The main one is trying to debug the
server by looking at everything *else* in the network.

  Why not debug the server by looking at the servers behavior?  That's
what all of the documentation says to do, and it seems rather more logical.
