confirm the information.

How do I get mIRC to work with the Router? Set port forwarding to 113 for the computer on which you are using mIRC. If you are experiencing difficulty after setting the port forwarding, try changing the Direct Client-to-Client (DCC) settings to a range from 1024 to 1030 on the DCC option and Forwarding page of the Web-based Setup Utility.

Why do I get interference on the line? Check to see if you have connected the standard telephone cable from the back of the Router to the wall plate. (See figure below.) The RJ-ll jack on the back of the Router is only made for a standard analog telephone.

Net2Phone Frequently Asked Questions

Can I set-up my Linksys Cable/DSL & Voice Router powered by Net2Phone to make calls without setting it up and configuring it for my network? No, you

must set up and configure your Router on your network first.

Do these phone calls work behind NAT (Network Address Translation)? Yes

Why do my calls cost more when I use my calling card versus making calls with my Linksys Cable/DSL & Voice Router powered by Net2Phone? Because the calling card calls actually do cost more because they are originating from a regular POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line. Your calls that are made from the Router cost less because they are originating over the Internet.

I already have a Net2Phone account number, can I use it in place the account number printed on my calling card, which was packaged with my Router?

No. The Net2Phone account number that you are already using is for a different type of service and your Router will not work with that account number. You must use the account number that is pre printed on the back of your calling card.

Why would I want to use the Linksys Cable/DSL & Voice Router powered by Net2Phone to make calls instead of using regular Net2Phone service? Because this service lets you make calls over the Internet with the ease of just picking up your phone. Also, these calls do not rely on using your com- puter. In fact, if you used a cordless phone with device, you could make Internet calls from any room in your house!
