I am tinkering with the Internet path on my home network and I am having troubles making everything work at once.
My speed is 15Mbps down / 1 Mbps up.
I host both a mail server and a web server. Very lightly used.
I use an Obi202 for VoIP and sometimes fax service.
I have a "main" router that uses SQM / QoS, which improves voice quality quite a bit.
I am using Google Voice as my (only) VoIP provider - and I've heard GV is spotty on fax and won't do T.38 at all.
It seems that I've got two choices in terms of cabling connections, and I'm hoping for some help.
setup A (which I've been using mostly):
Quote
ISP -> router -> Obi202 / LAN / Web server / Mail server
setup B (which I'm trying to get to work):
Quote
ISP -> Obi202 -> router -> LAN / Web server / Mail server
Setup A isn't working for sending fax. Even if I disconnect everything else from the router, the Obi202 can't successfully transmit a fax.
Setup B isn't working for incoming Web server requests. I have configured the Obi202 with the router as a demilitarized zone (and incoming Mail connections work) but the web server does not work. I have also tried port forwarding on port 80 to the router, but still the web server does not work.
I understand what is happening. The Obi202 has an internal web server that is enabled on the LAN interface and can optionally be enabled on the WAN interface. The problem is that when the WAN interface is not enabled, the Obi202 still refuses to forward port 80, no matter what I try.
Is there some way to get the Obi202 to forward port 80?
(edit ->) With setup A, Pandora works just fine on my home receiver. With setup B, Pandora plays about 30-60 seconds of a track and then skips to the next track. Unusable. Again, even with all other traffic shut off. Hmmmmm. Maybe I just need to dig deeper into completely prioritizing the Obi202 in setup A.
Thank you!
