OBi and Vonage device on same network

<< < (2/2)

Stewart:
Just a guess, but connecting the OBi to a LAN port on the RT31P2 might help.

Another option might be to connect the RT31P2 directly to the cable modem, with the OBi and Medialink connected to LAN ports on the RT31P2.

lk96:
To your point that with Obi/GV, there shouldn't be any conflict:
I would guess that the Obitalk network/service is SIP based. So there would
be SIP traffic that is Obihai bound even if you dont have any other commercial SIP-based
account setup.

I'm not familiar at all with the Medialink router/firewall you have.
But one wild thought is that if the NATing performed by your Medialink box
is port-based only, then it's conceivably possible that SIP messages destined
lets say to Vonage end up on a different box. So one suggestion
is investigate carefully if your router has any special options on how
to handle SIP traffic (ie if there is any SIP ALG option turn it off),
and also whether it gives you options on what kind of NATing to
implement.

bigbob:

So sip messages destined for the vonage device are likely getting consumed before they get there.  Do they come in on a port that I can route to the vonage router via the nat table?   

If not I will try moving the obi downstream as suggested.  Or finally, maybe there's a wat to tell obi to leave the sip stuff alone or pass it on(?)

Thanks for the prompt replies.

 :o I noticed that my vonage adapter was left in the dmz (put it in there to improve performance) and removed it.  That resolved the problem.
