Seth,

Unfortunately the diag_ping page doesn't work for this task.  [A few
minutes of my life were wasted on that one!]  It seems to ping from the
WAN side without regard to the presence of the VPN.

You should ping from a client on the LAN to the m0n0 or client or
server on the far end of the VPN.  Then the VPN comes to life after a
couple seconds (with net4501, maybe quicker with faster hardware).
