Re: [Equipment] Rewired- No VOIP Phones!
You're pretty much correct. Since you want to use the 2nd router as a switch (and you've correctly turned off the dhcp server on the 2nd), you'd need to plug all your RJ45 cables (including the one between the cable modem, which is also a router as you said, and the linksys router in the LAN ports on linksys router. That will truly make the linksys router work as a switch.
It is not clear from you drawing you've done that. That is, do not use the WAN port on the linksys router. And, it should solve your problem. |

| Sorry, I did not mention it. Yes, I do have a straight thru ethernet cable connected to a lan port (WAN is not used) on the linksys router and then over to the SBG900.
One question about a UPLINK port. What can this be used for ? It has a switch that appears to allow it to connect like the rest of the lan ports or as a crossover.
I am getting the feeling I am doing most everything right, but the issue is getting the SBG900 gateway configured correctly. From reading on the internet many other suffer the same fate with this modem. I may have to give it up and go back to what I had. |

| Try to disable the firewall on SBG900 first and see it that works. If it does, the problem would be that you need to setup port forwarding for SIP (port 5060) protocol.
As for UPLINk, it's typically used for connection to another switch (cascading). In the past, cascading requires a cross-over cable. With a dedicated uplink port, a straight-through cable is good enough. Also, nowadays, most switches can do auto-sensing and rarely a cross-over is needed. |

| Thanks for the info. I have found the firewall blocked most things. Once disabled many worked, but the VOIP was still no change.
I have also tried setting port forwarding exactly the same as I did successfully on the Linksys router. I think i am going to have to hang it up and go back to my previous setup. |
