Dlink Router How can I open Port 5060
My daughter has a Dlink Router WBR 2310 and I am trying to set up VOIP for her, The trouble is that the router is blocking port 5060, I disconnected her firewall, on her router and still can't get it to work, we tried her old router and VOIP worked fine but that router isn't wireless,
Any Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the Info, how do I allow it on all Ip's?
Its not a firewall problem, I disabled the firewall, and the port 5060 is still blocked, ther must be a setting in the router itself that is blocking this port.
Tried a different router and it works fine but it isn't wireless.

You must still forward ports on the LAN to get around NAT. Network address translation is what allows you to use multiple computers on a single IP address from your ISP, and is also the mechanism that handles incoming/outgoing requests from a computer over a port. To put it conversationally, NAT does this: "Okay, there's information here destined for port 5060, but there are no computers set up to receive traffic on 5060. Traffic rejected."
But if you actually forward the port on the router, it sees that the traffic for port 5060 actually is supposed to go somewhere, and the traffic stops getting rejected.
In short: Forward those ports, if it's not working, it's being set up wrong.
I did try Both and with no luck,

I did do that and still no luck,
I am doing all this via Logmein, I am in Australia and my daughter is in Canada, When I make any changes, I do save them, and I did 5060 as any that covers both UDP & TCP. the router has been rebooted several tomes,
This a difficult one as I never had a problem like this B4, and I have port forwarded on my router with no problems until now.
Yes I am sure.
Is this VOIP just over skype for example or is it through a VOIP device that has a phone connected to it?
It isn't a laptop, it is a PC windows XP Home. The device is a lynksys ATA model PaP2T and it is configured to with a telephone Number and it uses Port 5060, which I configured in Port forwarding using the ATA Ip address.
This ATA Box works fine on a different router but it isn't wireless
I hope this makes sense to you.
Cheers

I have a Dlink DIR-330. All of the other port forwarding that I've setup works great, but not 5060 which forwards to our pbx here in the office for our phones. The only thing I noticed in our setup was that I had it set to UDP only instead of Any. I thought about going back to change that, but I don't know if it will do any good.
Our old router is a Netopia and we don't have any problems with it and the port forwarding rules are setup the same as the Dlink. The Netopia has been locking up on us, hence the new router.
We have machines we host for clients so I don't get to play around with switching out routers too much during day, but I may look at it again this evening.
If anyone has any advice for what may be going on, I'm all ears. I've contacted Dlink, but they don't have any reported bugs related to this. Although I did find a bug in the IP reservation part of the firmware. They're "looking into it".
I fixed my problem by upgrading the firmware on the router, everything works fine now.
so try to upgrade your firmware.

Unfortunately I've already tried that. I'm on the latest version. I've opened a case with Dlink, but they just released a firmware update this month so I doubt they will be in any hurry to put another one out
Which is a shame because the features for the price are really good on this thing. The next step up is getting into the $500 plus range for what I'm looking for.
Bummer.
Hi Chuskey,
Try reseting the router to factory default and then re installing the firmware, I have had a similar problem once on my old router where the new firmware got corrupted at installation. after reinstalling the firmware for the second time it worked fine. Lost a lot of hair in the mean time.
