Thunderbird and Murphy,
It seems my router config is the issue.
Here's a link to the manual.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers ... -19576.pdfMy router has an internet (WAN1) and internet/dmz port (WAN2). And I have to assign WAN2 as a DMZ or Internet port.
I just noticed an option to turn on DMZ; and WAN 2 was automatically assigned as DMZ with the IP for my ooma device.
I have tried the following:
Router is set to turn on DMZ with DMZ host 192.168.1.100; WAN 2 was automatically reconfigured as DMZ; no device is connected to WAN 2.
Modem>WAN 1> Ooma connected to a LAN Port
Result: Ooma established internet but no tunnel connection; other pc's no internet.
I moved the modem to WAN 2; and ooma did not get internet.
I had to turn off DMZ in order for my pc connected to the LAN Port 3 to get internet.
Before I go off on a tangent to figure out proper DMZ settings to get internet; can you confirm from the manual that my internet/dmz port by design means that if I want to use DMZ, I can't have Dual Internet connections?
Or if I config the Wan/DMZ port as a DMZ setting with proper settings is it supposed to pass internet through to LAN?
Still it seems ooma would only have one port for its dmz access, thus no backup connection for phone service.
If that's the case, I'd go back to my modem>switch>ooma config; and manually swap out the modem cable when internet goes down on one provider.
