next n the VOIP saga: dueling routers

yep, squeal like a pig.

AT&T (now part of SBC, didn't the government split them up 20 years ago?) said i could set up my VOIP router even though my number hasn't been migrated yet, so i did.

I wish it was as easy as the instructions said, but of course it never is. Of course, i have a very carefully setup network in my house with a NAT box in front of everything that controls traffic to the internal network. Basically the VOIP box now grabs the public IP from my cable modem and creates it's own NAT, and then wants my router firewall to either NAT behind that or join it's network.

And of course it picked a different subnet than i already have going. i was hoping i wouldn't have to sit down with Visio to install VOIP, but it looks like i might have to.

more to come...
