VPN issues

We are trying to connect with a Nortel Contivity client through a Linksys router, and are unable to do so? Are there any known issues with Lynksys in regards to VPN? We've pinned it down that it is probably the hardware since we can connect at other locations that have the same ISP.

We've already tried opening all ports, and still nothing.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

I have a linksys router myself and use Nortel VPN Client to get into my work. I have no problems. There shouldnt be anything in the router that would block your connection. If you can get on the internet and such without issue, I would say its not the hardware, I would look for client configuration issues or Host VPN. If you use a personal firewall on you machine look there as well.

 

First of all, see if you can access VPN by bypassing the router. If not, then it's not the router.
If it does appear to be the router, check with Linksys. Older routers did not support VPN's. You may be able to fix via firmware update. Double check that you have the proper ports forwarded in the router.
