RT31P2 upstream to my D-Link router

...I got tired of messing around with the port forwarding settings so I went with the second suggestion. I then made several test calls inbound and outbound and so far so good *crosses fingers*...

You should be good with your ATA in front of your router, but when you were messing with forwarding ports, did you restart ALL the devices after a change and start them in the correct order (cable modem, router, and ATA -waiting 1 minute between each device).

No, I didn't realize it was necessary to follow these steps. So far everything is working fine so I'll probably just leave it alone for now. Thanks for the info.
