Hi,
I experienced the same problem today and I was able to solve it. It seems SIP protocol is disabled by default in Linksys E2500 (and probably in other Linksys routers), you can enable it as follow:
Connect to your router by running Cisco Connect (or directly: http://192.168.1.1/), click Router Setting, Advanced Setting then click Administration tab scroll down and tick Enabled beside SIP ALG and then save.
Good luck

Hi there,

Please try this:

1. Disable sip alg on your E2500
2. Add open DNS to your E2500

Hi there,

If you have a Thomson modem, you may need to unbind sip protocol in your Modem.

Update situation; I looked in the help section of my router. it is quite informative. I read if you connected to a dsl connection, then you need to connected pppoe. So i needed a username and password from my isp provider. I called they provided me what i asked for and also the were able to bridge my connection . And now it works.
Thanks to everyone for their assistance and help. It was really appreciated from all you ...mxez
