Re: How to find (and change) which proxy you are using.
Hey amigo_boy. Thanks for the great info. When I did the REGISTER search, it took me to newark. New Jersey is pretty far. Any ideas why? I am in South Florida - near Miami. I see Miami listed with a local IP from my router when I search for proxy, but not RESISTER. Am I doing this stuff correctly? The reason I am doing this, is because my MJ seems to be losing outbound audio. I am having to restart it and do test calls before making a real call. Anyone else seeing this issue? Thanks, tracker |

I haven't seen all the possible behavior of MJ. Can you map the Newark hostname (it seems to be using) to a different proxy's IP address using your hosts file? (Keeping in mind the warnings about maintaining such a remapping permanently).

You can call 909-390-0003 with your MJ and it will repeat everything back to you. Gives you an idea if things are working without disturbing someone else.

1 edit | Funny thing. Windows Vista. Not sure why, but I couldn't edit and save the file. It's blank. I have nothing but the remarks in my host file. When I check REGISTER, it has MIAMI in the destination and Newark in the Info. Sounds like they have something re-routed to me since I don't have anything in my host file. |

Another thing. I just tried the # you gave me, and the MJ disappeared. I have to manually start it again. Weird. |

I'm not familiar with Vista. Sorry. There should be a way to modify the hosts file.

Palm Beach Gardens, FL | Very strange. It's cutting my MJ off. I have to unplug it again. |

Palm Beach Gardens, FL | I am using the port on my PC. No hub. Maybe something on the motherboard. Thanks. I had to make a local call, then the 909 # worked. I will reboot my system now. |

I thought the powered hub thing was only a solution to using an unpowered hub. But, I've seen people say it made a difference even when they were using hubs directly on their computer. Apparently not all locally-attached USB ports are created equally.
