i signed up free phone line.ca about 2 months ago. the service was flawless.
but two days ago, i came home from work, and the home phone doesn't have dial tone. when i check the phone adaptor STATUS(LYNKSYS PAP2T). It indicated the line 1: Registration State: Can't connect to login server.
i tried to enable my line 2, it connected to the VOIP and my home works again.
so why did the free phone line service stopped working after 2 months? and then it works again when i switch to line 2 in my PAP2T?
thanks
the phone line stopped working

Re: the phone line stopped working
If it can't connect, but line 2 can, then it's most likely your router not playing very nice with SIP over NAT. Make sure you have your ports forwarded (they are in the FAQ). I would also look for an update to your Router, and if it's supported, flash it with either DD-WRT or Tomato (3rd party firmware for the device) as they play much nicer with SIP traffic and offer you WAY MORE stability overall and customization overall.

Re: the phone line stopped working
thanks for the reply.
here is my router: d link DIR-8
funny thing, ios 5 release yesterday and it happened yesterday. now my ipad and iphone are using wireless wifi sync. i will see what happen tomorrow.
nothing need to be configured in my router. no port fowarding, it still works now.
