OK, lets get under the hood of this one.... I've just been told by a tech at the remote site that it cannot be done if any type of NAT is involved!?!? Maybe you guys could confirm this for me? Here's the sitch.... I'm at company A behind a gnatbox pro. I want to connect to Company B via the Internet to their VPN server which is running Nortel Contivity VPN server/software. I initiate the connection and the Contivity client resolves the site to an IP address and then tries to establish the VPN. I then get an error > "Remote Host not responding". Anyone have any experience with a Gnatbox to Contivity VPN connection?
