    Brad,

    I have U-verse Internet service and have a Linksys PAP2T from VOIPo. Although I'm a very light phone user I haven't had any service issues. I have the PAP2T configured in the U-verse residential gateway in DMZplus mode. I chose to use the DMZplus instead of forwarding ports because I didn't want to take the chance that something could be blocked by the firewall. When the PAP2T requests a DHCP IP address, the residential gateway will provide it with its public IP address and any traffic not destined for another system on your network will go to the PAP2T. I have no idea if this bypasses the SIP ALG feature but it seems to work fine for me. If you haven't tried it yet already you may want to give it a shot. Settings -> Firewall -> Applications, Pinholes and DMZ -> Click the LinksysPAP in the Select a computer section -> Click the button for Allow all applications (DMZplus mode) -> Save. After the settings are applied, reboot your VOIPo adapter so it can update its IP address.

    The problem with me putting my Linksys PAP2T in DMZ Plus means I can't remote desktop into my computer which I do very often. Cause it will make it so all ports are routed to the Linksys PAP2T. This is not necessary for it to work. I have the ports opened that they specified. I also have another piece of hardware on my network that I remote into on a different port which I wouldn't be able to do anymore either.
    This is not the solution because it limits me from everything else. I also might be getting a security camera solution which allows me to remotely view from the web and I won't be able to do that either with the Linksys PAP2T in DMZ Plus mode.

    Basically tonight I played with it for a while. Trying different things and it is not working. I can't even receive calls. It rings my phone like 2 times and then going to voicemail even if I pick up the phone before the 2nd ring it gives me a dialtone.
    I can't do this anymore. I'm signing back up for AT&T Uverse Voice and paying $35/month for unlimited. Sucks to have to say goodbye but I guess you get what you pay for.

    BTW, my wife is totally pissed off at me because she told me before I even ordered Voipo that she didn't want me to because some of her friends have had horrible luck with different Voip services and I did it anyways. Now she gets to say "Told you so".

    When you say opened, do you mean opened in the firewall or forwarded? We recommend forwarding the entire range of 5004-65000 or using DMZ.

    Even with DMZplus enabled for one device, you can still forward specific ports to other devices. I have mine set up so I can externally remote desktop into two different workstations and still have the PAP2T in the DMZ. When an external packet comes into the RG, it will look at the port forwarding rules and existing open connections first. If it doesn't match those then it is sent to the DMZplus device.

    Tim,

    Yes I mean forwarded. The same way I've done it for other things such as remote desktop, etc.
    It still doesn't work. Called AT&T today and resubscribed to Uverse Voice which I had before this whole mess.
    I will be sending back the ATA and canceling the service and would like a full refund of my money.
    I will fill out a support ticket or billing ticket once AT&T turns up my new line. I really wish I could have worked it out but I've tried everything.

    OK. We always hate to lose a customer, but if you're not able to put the device in DMZ, you're likely to continue to experience ongoing issues and would be better suited at another provider, so it's likely the best choice in this situation.

    As several of the other UVerse users posted here, DMZPlus resolved their issues. We understand that some people choose not to do this though. There's just nothing at all we can do on our end to force traffic through your modem/router to our adapter if it's not being allowed through.

    U-Voice is a a little different where there is no problem with traffic getting stopped at the modem and not making it through to an adapter since the adapter is built into the modem itself.

    Sorry to see you go, but good luck with AT&T U-Voice.
