Thanks for all the help everyone!

I believe I have setup everything correctly, time will tell. I logged into the ATA and selected, statically configured as. I gave it an IP address outside of my routers pool, set subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, set the default router IP to my router’s IP and left the DNS servers as they were. I can now access the ATA from my desktop using the new IP without going thru the LAN port. I logged into my router and setup port forwarding to the IP assigned to the ATA. I selected ports 5004–65000, UDP, to forward. If I have missed anything, please let me know. The last thing I need is my wife nagging me about the phone not working!
