Anyone using 2 or more lines with m0n0wall or pfSense router ?

I installed my Linksys router...and wow. Yipee...It works


And I didn't even need to use port forwarding.

What is wrong with my m0n0wall that my m0n0wall won't let me call my one VoIP phone?

Maybe it's a solution similiar to the pfSense VoIP solution, where cfpalmer previously posted a link to correct a similiar problem with pfSense, that was needed to get VoIP to work with pfSense. That pfSense solution had nothing to do with port forwarding either.

So it seems that it has to be something other then port forwarding in my m0n0wall, that my m0n0wall router won't let me answer VoIP calls on my one VoIP phone.

It's a simple Linksys BEFSR81 router that now allows my VoIP to work...all without port forwarding. Now I'm really curious why my m0n0wall gives such a problem. It has to be something in the m0n0wall configuration that I'm doing wrong.

Hi Bob:

Have you seen this? http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/

Seems there is a sip proxy available also...

I'm don't even know what sip proxy is...lol.

I do have the m0n0wall manual printed out. I'll look at it to see if there is anything about sip proxy.

Are you saying I need to turn on something called sip proxy in my m0n0wall?

At least now I can receive phone calls with my linksys router installed...all without port forwarding.

I sure would love to figure out why m0n0wall won't let it work. Maybe that sip proxy you mentioned might be a clue. For best security, I believe m0n0wall disallows things unless specifically allowed. I must not be allowing something, where the Linksys is allowing the phone calls to go through.
