I upgraded my Dlink 524 router to a new Vonage VWR router (made by Dlink). I am able to get on the internet, but can;'t log onto my works VPN. To be sure I disconnected the VWR and reconnect the old 524 and logged on to the VPN without any problem.

Are there special settings on the VWR that need to be set to get the VPN to work? My company uses Contivity.

You need to enable port 500 (UDP). Also, check you PC"s firewall. See the following thread:

Ok this is how my setup is..
I have heard alot of users complain there vpn setup does not work however based upon my test it is clear that comcast is using different network for different modem's i assume to be able to manage bandwith.

67.186.85.x <--With Vonage modem
24.12.241.X <--Without Vonage Modem
Are the ip addresses i was receiving with or without modem

If you put the Vonage modem behind your regular router and on your regular router enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) this should work.

Cable Modem-->DLink Router -->Vonage Modem..

My P.C's are hooked up to Dlink..Nothing is on the Vonage Router.
So basically the Vonage router is obtaining an ip address from the Dlink router not from internet.
