Tnx for that Brian, but I had already tried DMZ with no joy.

I suspect my ISP may be the problem. Looking at the router firewall
log files it is showing "Blocked by DoS 10.120.16.1" although it does
not say if that is incoming or outgoing - I assume the former. If that
is the case then it looks as though my days of using voip are
numbered.

Having said that it puzzles me that the X-Lite softphone provided by
Sipgate will work with incoming calls without problem, and the X-Lite
will register correctly whether I use it withSipgate or voip.c.uk - it
just doesn't work with calls at all with voip (I don't (yet) have
outgoing capability with Sipgate to be able to test it.)
