When ATA is configured to use static IP, and when there is no DHCP server available on the local area network - then ATA needs a DNS server from which it can resolve the name of SIP proxy server.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-LameDuck-maybe-you-are-interested-5892209 Wed, 05 Feb 2003 13:21:41 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-LameDuck-maybe-you-are-interested-5892142
There is also the significant problem factor of DNS servers when named specifically are often times overloaded, or they change. For example, Bellsouth customers are specifically requested to NOT manually code a bellsouth DNS server IP address into their routers, or TCP/IP settings because bellsouth frequently changes those for things like upgrades, security, reconfigurations and so on.

I just just find the recommendation to be a bit questionable and suspect. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-LameDuck-maybe-you-are-interested-5892142 Wed, 05 Feb 2003 13:12:38 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-LameDuck-maybe-you-are-interested-5891319 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-LameDuck-maybe-you-are-interested-5891319 Wed, 05 Feb 2003 11:32:24 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/LameDuck-maybe-you-are-interested-5890966
do you remember my (our) Problem with my ATA and "always busy"? Now I received an answer from the customersupport.

Here ist the answer:
--------
Dear Customer,

Please be advised that I have reviewed your configuration page and it
seems to be in order. I would like to make a suggestion that should
resolve your difficulties. Please contact your ISP and ask them to
provide you with the IP address of their DNS server. Please enter the IP
address they give you in the following fields: 'DNS1IP' and 'DNS2IP'.

Please let us know if this change enables you to make calls.

Sincerely,
--------------------

This works, so the Problem was the DNS.

Greetings,
