The fact that your "Get Address" returns the internal IP may be cause of the problem, as SecureClient will use that IP if your VPN -> Link Selection is set to "Main Address" [which is the default]. Is eth0 defined as your external interface? If you go to the command line of the gateway and run "sysconfig", select option "5" Network Connections, then option "4" Select management connection, is that set to your external interface? From the command line, do an ifconfig and make sure that it matches the topology configuration on the gateway object.
