Nortel VPN Client vs. DLink DI-624m wireless router

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
