Cisco 7940 Help

[fisamo]

Does the phone not accept FQDNs instead of IP addresses? Try using sip.voipwelcome.com in the Proxy1_address field.

[kiwijonnyboy]

Just re-tried to verify and it still doesn't go. I can see from wireshark that it does resolve to the 67.xxx address.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Here are a couple lines from the IP Phone.
73 13.465243 192.168.0.107 67.228.77.18 SIP Request: REGISTER sip:sip.voipwelcome.com

265 51.764172 192.168.0.107 67.228.77.18 SIP/SDP Request: INVITE sip:3143212222@sip.voipwelcome.com, with session description


From my voipo router:

Figured out my issue.....

was missing the

nat_enable : 1

This was driving me NUTS!

This allows the external proxy to talk back to my IP address. Now I am trying to figure out the MWI. I think i may need to open some ports....but will save that for another day.

Once i get everything the way i like it....I will post up my configs.

Thank you for posting this, this is the exact same issue I had with my 7960.

I wish voipo support told me about this forum a month ago when I called for additional config info. I was only told I had what I need and others have no issues with the Cisco 7960 phone.

I was using my Cisco 7960 with Broadvoice and Gizmo5 without issues with the Nat off. I'm now able to connect to all three with the Nat On, BV and G5 doesn't seem to matter if NAT is on or off.

Thanks again kiwijonnyboy
