Hello all,
I really need some help here. I work from home periodically and connect to my company via Nortel Contivity VPN client. I try connecting via my home network which is ran by a DI-624m wireless router. When I try to connect, it just hangs at "Connecting to: (Hostname)." According to the documentation I have, my company uses IPSEC along with UDP (protocol 17), ESP (protocol 50), and AH (protocol
51). I feel like I have tried everything. I have surfed and surfed for answers. I read that it is impossible to authenticate since my company uses AH...then I read it was possible. I tried a solution in the D-Link support DB which had me go into my router and make several configuration changes: Enable IPSEC port 500 in virtual server list, add Nortel VPN on port 9550 with my PCs IP address in the virtual server listings, and disable IPSEC and PPTP under Tools and Misc. That did not work. I tried re-enabling IPSEC and PPTP and kept the other settings...that did not work. I had Nortel VPN Client V4.65 and downgraded to V4_15.14...that did not work. I disabled keep alives on the client, that did not work. I am at my wits end here and desperate to get this working. If anyone knows of a fix, please advise. If anyone knows for sure of a wireless home router by any vendor that will support this connection, please advise. Ironically, someone in my are has a Netgear router with no encryption. It comes and goes as the signal strength increases and decreases. I was able to connect to their network and connect to my VPN while on their network! So I know that it is possible with certain routers...I just don't know which one! I don't know who owns that Netgear router so I have no idea who else to ask or turn to. Please help!Thanks for reading CS1
