Please log in for more thread options Hope this is the right forum, if not please advise. I own a ZyXel P-660R-ELNK DSL modem connected to a Netgear WGR615V unlocked router. After some fiddling, I managed to make the whole thing work with Callcentric a few months ago, and have been quite happy since. The original settings that I believe are salient were: ZyXel ===== RIP direction: both RIP version: RIP-2B NAT mode: SUA only SIP ALG: enabled UPnP: disabled Security, filtering etc.: no special measures taken Netgear ======= SIP proxy: callcentric.com SIP control port: 5060 SIP local port: 5060 SIP message TOS Value: 68 hex Starting RTP Port: 16384 RTP Data TOS Value: b8 hex Use Outbound SIP proxy: yes Outbound SIP proxy address: callcentric.com Outbound SIP proxy port: 5060 VAD: no STUN: no Register expire time: 30 sec Registration head start time: 0 sec DNS server: yes Primary DNS: 208.67.222.222 Secondary DNS: 208.67.220.220 It all works fine. Now, yesterday I found out that callwithus.com has better rates for my calling patterns, so I signed up. My new settings were: ZyXel ===== unchanged Netgear ======= As per http://www.callwithus.com/configuration The main change from Callcentric was the use of STUN. I tried my account a number of times (with rebooting the router and the modem, the works), no avail. I wrote CallWithUs' support and they said they receive no registration attempts from my account. I hypothesized that the use of STUN somehow does not go well with the modem. Could that be the case? To confirm that, I also signed up with voicestick.com. They don't use STUN. They also are very shy about publishing their SIP client configuration. I fished one from this forum, which looks like this: ZyXel ===== unchanged Netgear ======= SIP proxy: 206.165.50.116 SIP control port: 5060 SIP local port: 5060 SIP message TOS Value: 68 hex Starting RTP Port: 16384 RTP Data TOS Value: b8 hex Use Outbound SIP proxy: yes Outbound SIP proxy address: 206.165.50.116 Outbound SIP proxy port: 5060 VAD: no STUN: no Register expire time: 30 sec Registration head start time: 0 sec DNS server: yes Primary DNS: 208.67.222.222 Secondary DNS: 208.67.220.220 However, that didn't work either! So now I'm back to my Callcentric setup which again works, and I can't understand how neither of the others work. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks! Andrei | |||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I think, your best bet is to try both the services which did not work with YATE Client (either QT4 or GTK2 version, see http://YATE.null.ro/). Run this soft-phone from command prompt or a xterm in a verbose/bebug mode and figure out the problem by looking at the messages. Hope that helps. -- Dr Balwinder S "bsd" Dheeman Registered Linux User: #229709 Anu'z Linux@HOME (Unix Shoppe) Machines: #168573, 170593, 259192 Chandigarh, UT, 160062, India Gentoo, Fedora, Debian/FreeBSD/XP Home: http://cto.homelinux.net/~bsd/ Visit: http://counter.li.org/ | |||||||||||||||||||

Thanks Balwinder, this software looks quite what the doctor prescribed; my router has no debugging ability. Incidentally I'm originally Romanian :o). Andrei | |||||||||||||||||||
