The Nortle conntivity when setup as server for conntivity client use
a proprieatry hash algorithm --> no other client can connect...

If you have access to the conntivity config, ask them to configure a
'office' connection for you and it should work without a problem,
but you wont have ip address assignement nor extended authentication.

If they cant, you'll have to do it exactly like i do: have to use 
windows to connect to the office... There is some form of a linux client
too though which is not free (i ever wonder if this thing does not runs
on max-os X).
