Ok, thanks.

I'm not sure what you are driving at here.
I think the answer is yes. The IP of clients on my LAN
are 192.168.0.x.
As far as the 'open' rule is concerned, I just used that to
test if Contivity worked. I'm not sure what you mean by not using AH.
When using the 'open' firewall ruleset, I did not have to
add any rules for ESP or AH.

Would I use this in addition to the firewall rules?

These rules look a little different. Should adding the AH be all I
need or do I need to replace my rules with the one you list above?
