Re: Telefonica Kit ADSL

A short answer to your question is no. With an ADSL modem your computer is completely open to the outside world. Telefónica does not block any ports. I have been using VOIP successfully for several years on a Wanadoo/Telefónica connection with no problems. Just make sure your firewall allows incoming traffic on the necessary ports, for SIP usually 5060 for call set up and a couple of media ports depending on the client.

Thanks Alistair,

I was reading the post further up this topic by "basreflex", but now realise they were talking about a router.

Thanks for your help

I'm using the telefonica router mentioned above and no, I can use VOIP (skype in my case) quite happily You CAN disable it if you wish but it seems fine to me. Pings are a little higher than I'd like (90s rather than my UK ADSL which was around 20-30) but still serviceable. Also, if you have a hunt around on the CD they send you, all the manuals ARE there in english and there's even a funky video.

I have to admit, being an impatient bastard, I skipped their setup program and did it all manually. Works like a dream.

Oh and I just found that my next door neighbour was using my wireless connection to access the net through my ADSL (cheeky b*****d!) so I'm in the process of learning wireless authentication...

All in all, you SHOULD be able to do anything and if you have any problems, you can get pretty far into the guts using the command line interface to make any changes you want.

Wordy eh?

The router manual in English is called "Manual de configuracion web.pdf" on the CD
