| If both your cable modem and your router are providing DHCP services, you should make sure they are on different subnets. Assume, for example, that your cable modem gets a public IP address on its WAN side from the ISP -- say, 66.74.132.103, and uses a private IP address on its LAN side -- say, 192.168.0.1. Your router would then probably receive an IP address dynamically on its WAN side of 192.168.0.2. You need to manually configure the LAN side of the router to have an address that is NOT in the 192.168.0.x subnet. Set it, for example, to 192.169.10.1. Then the VoIP adapters as well as your computer will have addresses in the 192.168.10.x subnet.
I'm glad you worked it out, but you might want to check these addresses to be sure other problems won't crop up. |
