Hi,

The software was upgraded automatically apparently. I bought the phone from
new, and originally went to a single page to put my settings. I am using
Sipgate, and also added a password. The phone is also in a DMZ, so not
protected by firewall.

When I then tried to use the phone later on, it wouldn't work, so I logged
on the web interface again, and saw a new interface (three tabs instead of a
single page, so the phone must have downloaded automatically an upgrade from
the manufacturer), and the provider details had changed. The phone wouldn't
connect anyway since I don't have an account with them.

I found all of this very strange. I changed the settings manually back to
Sipgate, and the phone is now working again...
