can't connect externally to vpn on a mac

hello all-

I'm having a problem with my astaro that i can't for the life of me figure out.  when i set up the vpn (l2tp over ipsec v7.011) so that i can connect to it internally, i have no problem at all.  i get the statically assigned ip address that i set for myself and everything is perfect.  however!  when i set it up for external connections and test this from home (where i am not behind a router, straight into the cable modem) i can't connect at all.  

here is a selection from the log on a failed connection.
