PAP2T vs RT31P2

[ctaranto]

Let's first forget about the liunx machine, focus on the XP one. Just connect the XP one to RT. then run the ipconfig /all.

The RT, not being wireless, can't be connected to it. There isn't a driver for the wired port on the laptop. The other (3rd) laptop is booted. Trying now...

The XP laptop isn't getting an IP, either.

ipconfig /all shows

dhcp enabled: Yes
autoconfiguration enabled: Yes
IP Address: 0.0.0.0
Subnet: 0.0.0.0
Default gateway: <blank>
DHCP Server: 255.255.255.255

/c

Found the problem. I had turned NAT off in my experiment with the "vonage" setup I posted earlier. I turned it back on, and now DHCP works.

The laptop hardwired to the RT can now see the internet.

Now, to get Phone 1 lit up...

Do I forward ports from the WRT to the 192 or 172 address?

If you need to forward ports you'd you'll be forwarding from the WRT to whatever address the WRT has assigned the RT (i.e. the RT's WAN address). Also see my previous post.

Under voip123's recommendation, I statically set the WAN side of the RT to 172.20.0.118, so I forwarded that IP in the WRT.

I still don't have Phone 1 lit up. I filed a support ticket last night about this but haven't heard back. Maybe support doesn't work on the weekends?

Thanks again...

To be honest, I've don't remember all the details and what you've tried from your postings in this long thread.

If get your RT to obtain an IP address automatically and directly attach it to the cable modem does Line 1 light up? If yes, I'd say the problem is at your end; if no, it's possibly not at your end.

Glad you make it work.
