MN-500 and Nortel Contivity problem

I just switched from a Linksys Router with VPN Pass-thru
to an MN-500, now my Contivity software is unable to
connect to work.

How do you configure VPN-pass-thru on the MN-500?

Port forwarding. I'm not sure if you can get away with using
application triggered as that will drop if you don't keep sending
packets out on the outbound port. Persistent port forwarding will work
for the incoming ports though.

If your question is worth asking, it's worth posting.

If it’s not worth posting you should have done a search on
http://www.google.com/ http://www.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&q= or
http://news.google.com/froogle?hl=en&tab=nf&ned=us&q= before wasting our
time.

This piece of crap.

The issue is that the router (base station) will not
support IPSec/PPTP pass-through. Keep in mind that,
when discussing VPNs, we are talking about PROTOCOLS
other than TCP or UDP. (ie. TCP is protocol 6, while
GRE is protocol 47).

This is a basic functionality that any other brand of
router can perform. Effing M$ got me again, as I have
wasted money - I need VPN functioanlity to work from home.

Simply put, this hunk of crap doesn't know how to spell
GRE, much less know what to do with it.

I called tech support, and the tech agreed.

The idiotic thing is that the wired base stations are
apparently able to perform this function. I don't know
this for sure, so don't waste your money.

Anyway - if you want your VPN to work, put your host on
the "Virtual DMZ". Your host will be wide open to
inbound exploit attempts from the Internet, though... so
be warned.
