Not as far as I know, and it wouldn't make much sense anyway, visit the
FreeS/WAN site, they explain a lot.

So... before you put your hostname in /etc/hosts, you couldn't ping the
IP address? Or you couldn't ping by host name?
Do you know that your hardware is good? Sounds to me like networking is
properly configured but you don't have a good connection to the rest of
the net. Network cables flake out all the time...
Don't mean to insult your intelligence, but are you familiar with the
basic rules of TCP/IP? For instance, you do know that your other
machines will have to have addresses on the same subnet, right?
