Re: [Ekiga-list] How to get ATA phone to ring?

[bnc <bnc netspeed com au>]

Jan,
I currently run an ATA at home similar to yours, I just set the ATA up
and it just worked, no need to forward anything.
Then I tried to do what you want to do, except that I just wanted to
use ekiga. I believe I got the same issue, but do not think it is a
problem. If you look at it from the ISP's perspective they end up
with a voice packet that has to be delivered, they see a registered
device(your home phone) and send it to port 5060.
The fact that you then come along and register another IP address
does not matter because the ISP will only recognise the first one.
i.e. all incoming calls for that phone number will go to the first IP
address.
The way you could prove this is to turn the home phone off and see if
you get incoming calls.
The way I resolved the problem was to get a new number for the
machine I take on the road.
My isp allows free calls on the same network so I can phone home for
free:)
YMMV
Brian
PS. my current setup on the road is EEEPC-EKIGA-3GWireless-PhoneNo.
