Searching www.google.com or www.google.com/advanced_group_search might be
helpful.

Or even better, you could use a free software firewall or sniffer
temporarily to see what is being sent. I think a software firewall is a
little better since a sniffer won't easily show you packets blocked vs.
packets permitted. www.sygate.com can let you set up packet rules just like
you did with IPSec to see what packets are being denied.

A lot of people have problems with IP Filtering, because there's no logging
or alerting or intrusion detection, which is why I think third party
software or a real firewall is usually preferable.
