The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Connecting Contivity VPN client through Netgear WGR614 Wireless AP

Asked by ceedn in Virtual Private Networking (VPN)

Tags: , , ,

I am trying to connect a laptop with a 802.11b wifi card to a corporate VPN using the Nortel Contivity VPN client. The local wifi AP is a Netgear WGR614 v1 router (i.e. it's 802.11b compliant).

From the laptop, I can see and ping the router. I can also see and ping the outside world (tested by pinging a known domain outside).

But login attempts on the VPN always fail, advising me to review the switch logs. I'm assuming this indiates a failure at the corporate VPN switch. But corporate IT says all is well on their end.

Router: 192.168.0.1
Laptop: 192.168.0.4 (reserved; other devices use DHCP but laptop remains at same address)

After discussion with Netgear, I set port forwarding for ports 500 and 1723.

Instruction was to indicate server to forward ports to - I entered the ip address of the laptop (192.168.0.4).

Login attempts still fail.

Advice? Should I be opening other ports? I've seen some advice to the effect that I should be messing with protocols (specifically 47 - GRE), but I see nothing at Netgear that lines up with this (or tells me how to do it).

Many thanks!Start Free Trial
