| 1207477 | 2011-06-07 05:11:00 | First of all, my setup: I have 2 sites, home and office. my DSL routers are Draytek Vigor2810e (office) and a 3com Office connect 3CRWDR101A-75 (because the identical Draytek at home is an unstable POS so I swapped it out) I have 2 x Netgear FVS318G to provide a VPN tunnel between my home and office, DSL routers are set up to point to the netgears as DMZ hosts. I am using VOIP, my provider is 2talk and I have 2 Linksys SPA-2102 for the office and 1 for home. Last night my VPN tunnel crashed and burned, today when I had a play with it I recreated the tunnel from scratch, did a hard reset of both units, after which my ATAs refused to connect back up to 2talk, so no VOIP, no VPN tunnel, and my wife was pissed, yelling in my ear etc.... After some pissing around I changed my ATAs to a different port adding a 0 to all the ports I set up (e.g. 5060 becomes 50600) all my ATAs come back up and lo and behold, my f***ing VPN tunnel starts working... the setup has been giving me headaches since I set it up, but this really got me... Does anyone know why this would happen? |

Nothing wrong with running on the non-std port. What happens if you switch back to Port 5060 now? In the WebUI for the SPA2102 what does it tell you is the status for that line? |

| 1207479 | 2011-06-08 03:11:00 | In light of these issues I'm having I'm considering putting my ATAs in the DMZ, is there any good reason why I shouldn't? they won't be exposed to the internet, they will just sit between the router and DSL. | Deimos (5715) | ||
