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 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!

Hello daiyu,

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?

I use Contivity through a plain Jane Linksys router. Be aware that you
shouldn't waste alot of time on getting the Contivity to work because
there's no more support for it. Expect your company - like mine - to start
using something else like Juniper, etc...
