Re: Defcon 1?: Massive ATA failure
Looks like MJ find someway to block ATA because
1) Wireshark shows that proxies are unchanged
2) Some people are able to register but can't make outgoing calls(incoming works), so the credentials are correct, at least for some. |

| I was able to register and my ATA says online but I can't make or receive calls.
If I can't get it back to work using ATA, I will stop recommending magic jack. I'm the only one that I know that uses an ATA for it but I have convinced many people to buy one magicjack. I have two. One I carry with me, the other one I was just using its credential with an ATA.
This is that kind of thing that many software company do and ends up hurting them. They protect their software so much that nobody will experiment with it and nobody will ever hear about it. I understand that Magicjack is so cheap because it's sponsored by ads. However, if you turn the geeks off, they will stop recommending or helping other people with their magicjack. The consequence is that their business will eventually die or be replaced by a smarter competitor. |

Interesting Development:
Change your register expires / session expiry setting on your ATA to 600. If this doesn't work try 0. They may be setting this differently for your setting. This seems to be how they are sorting ATA and non-ATA for now. Changing this on my ATA got incoming to work, BUT not outgoing. |

I will stop recommending magic jack. I'm a bit confused. If you were recommending MagicJack because it worked well, why would you stop?
If you were recommending MagicJack because it was easy to hack credentials, violate TOS and use an ATA ... then I understand.

Thanks for the info. I tried 600 but no luck(seems the new value is 1800 here vs. old 900). 0 does get the ATA registered but no incoming or outgoing calls. Incoming did work yesterday after I put the new password in PAP2, but I messed it up later by switching proxies around and now everything stops working. Waiting for some genius to figure it out and save us... |

Hollywood, FL | If you have the PMDump utility, it would be helpful to see what your session expire value is for yours specifically |
