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 think so. 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).

I've had that problem. Sometimes the first call doesn't have audio. 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.

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 just tried the echo-back number. It worked fine. I'm using the PHX proxy.

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

Very strange. It's cutting my MJ off. I have to unplug it again.

I always thought this suggestion was overused (like, "reboot your system"), but I'd recommend using a powered USB hub. I've seen too many people describing flakey behavior that was cleared up by a powered hub.

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.

Maybe Dan had someone look at my host, and register cuz it seems to be working fine now.
