Voice IP and DMZ
My problem is with a Motorola VT1005v and Linksys WRT51AB.
When i hook my cable modem to the Motorola (Voice-IP) and then port it to the Linksys; I cannot obtain a DMZ on any of my
computers on my network. Although I have DMZ checked in the Linksys configuration screen. I still am not getting a dmz. THe
reason I need DMZ is to use this P2P program.
Now when I hook the cable modem to the Linksys then to the Motorola. I have no access to the web from any of the computers on
my network.
My question is has anyone ran into this problem? Does anyone have any ideas to get DMZ working properly with the Motorola +
Linksys? Or have had any success.
Thanks
PS . All computers are DNS.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
If you make any machine DMZ _all_ traffic will be forwarded to it. That includes the traffic that the VoIP connection needs.
No good. The Motorola just does a smart move by disabling the DMZ function and keeping voice functionality alive.
A better solution would be to find out which ports/protocols your P2P program needs and forward those to your machine.
Security wise this would be a better solition as well.
