You didn't indicate whether the OpenBSD 4.0 is doing NAPT for your XP
box or you have a binat setup.  If NAPT then you must enable NAT
traversal on the FortiGate.  If you have setup a binat then you have
the choice of enabling NAT traveral on the FortiGate or modifying pf
to allow ESP (protocol 50) in&out.
