A Draytek 2600V (yes, I know).

But even so. Why would it work without any problem when using voip.co.uk? I
only have this problem on voipfone...

Oh well... one day...

Thanks
JM

Ouch.

You need to telnet to your router and makesure the SIP ALG is disabled.

Once you are logged in, the command is something like

sys sip_alg ?

will tell you the status

and

sys sip_alg 0 (or might be 1)

will disable it.

If the setting isn't there, then you need to upgrade to more recent
firmware.

I've eliminated all the draytek's from all the networks I have anything
to do with, so hard to check.

Different SIP platforms have different ways of doing things.

Common logic would say `works with provider A, doesn't work with
provider B` implies `fault with provider B`. This isn't always the
case with SIP providers.

Infact, provider B may be doing nothing wrong, but provider B does
something in a way that upsets the SIP ALG in your router (very very
common) or your SIP device.

Also common is that provider A has in place a workaround to fix
deficiencies in your equipment.


voip.co.uk and voipfone use completely different types of system.

just tried on the router:
> sys sip_alg ?

usage: sys sip_alg [value]
0 - disable SIP ALG
1 - enable SIP ALG
current SIP ALG is disabled

I think I am going to stick to voip.co.uk for now. I ran out of credit on
voipfone and I don't think I will reload my account before this is fixed.

Thanks for your help.
