Please log in for more thread options Hello: I am currently having problems trying to set up Nortel Contivity connectivity with my company's VPN. The VPN client (running on Windows XP) refuses to run behind my current router, a D-Link DI-604, but will run when directly connected to the cable modem. As my company does require IP Authentication Header (AH) capability, I strongly suspect that the solution is to purchase an AH-capable router. I like the D-Link line, so I am thinking about buying the D-Link DI-804HV which is advertised as AH-capable. Can anyone confirm for me from their own experience that the D-Link DI-804HV will enable Contivity VPN client connectivity for connections requiring AH? Alternatively are there any other routers in the $60 - $80 range that people have confirmed capability to connect to AH-enabled Contivity VPNs. Thanks. | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Please disregard this post. Subsequently I discovered that the connectivity problems were due to the fact that I was remotely administering the computer: the DI-604 works just fine for establishing a VPN connection as long as the computer is being operated directly. I actually got the inspiration for this solution from another post in this forum; thanks for saving me money, guys! | |||||||||||||

I saw this post and am wondering if you can share your solution to get your DI-604 router to work with AH authentication for the Contivity VPN client? -AJ daiyu wrote: > Hello:

I use Contivity through a plain Jane Linksys router. Be aware that you

Expect your company - like mine - to start using something else like Juniper, etc... | |||||||||||||
