Hopefully this is considered an OK forum to post this in, I did not see anything else that made more sense. I have KPC650 with what I beleive is the most up to date version of the VZAccess Manager 2.3.0 Build 1364 for Macs. My problem is that when I work remotely and utilize my companies VPN it will not connect. When I am at home and make an internet connection wirelessly with my router, which is connected to bellsouth dsl, I can connect via VPN no problem - but when I am connected to the internet using only the Verizon card I obviously can get internet no problem but cannot connect via VPN to work. I am using the Nortel Networks Apani Contivity VPN Client v3.4 , which is also the most up to date version. I use the exact same connection profile in the VPN app that I use when connected thru bellsouth ( same password, ip, etc... ). The company help desk cannot figure it out, of course their not Mac people either which doesn't help, but theysaid when I am connected via the Verizon card and I attempt the VPN connection they do not even see me pinging, although the error message I get is that "Login requested but not completed... Please try again." It seems to point at something in the VZAccess Manager, or thru Verizon itself, but I also tried by connecting straight from Network in the System Preferences, which I can connect successfully to the internet using the Verizon card without using their Manager software but I still have the same problem connecting with the VPN. Any have any ideas ? Thanks.

Verizon is notorious for blocking anything that can do VOIP, of which a VPN connection could qualify. I would run a packet dump at the remote site if at all possible, to see if the VPN packets are even arriving there from the Verizon network.

This is one of the reasons why the network neutrality legislation should be passed.
