Hi

I'm having troubles with my Cisco 2610 (IOS 12.2(21)). I'm running NAT, which is working just fine, but recently I got a strange error when trying to connect a VPN-tunnel from inside the router to a network outside.
I get tons of (10.0.17.53 is the client inside the router):
1d01h: NAT: translation failed (A), dropping packet s=10.0.17.53 d=192.6.x.x

This is weird, because it seems to be NATing ok. Got this a few packets before the one above:
1d01h: NAT*: i: udp (10.0.17.53, 500) -> (192.6.x.x, 500) [6851]
1d01h: NAT*: s=10.0.17.53->213.113.y.y, d=192.6.x.x [6851]
1d01h: NAT*: o: udp (192.6.x.x, 500) -> (213.113.y.y, 500) [16623]
1d01h: NAT*: s=192.6.x.x, d=213.113.y.y->10.0.17.53 [16623]

So I'm really confused now. Doesn't "s=10.0.17.53 d=192.6.x.x" mean that it tries to NAT a packet from inside to 192.6.x.x? How can that fail?

Here's the important parts of my config:
