Hi
I have sunrocket VoIP. Gizmo is connected directly to cable modem and router is connected to gizmo. The network usually works well and port forwarding seems to be working properly. However, when I try to use P2P programs such as emule or azureus, my internet connection becomes so slow that it is imposible to go to any website. Also, emule and azureus are working very slowly too.
Anyone got any idieas how to fix this?
The last change was getting VoIP. Before i had gizmo between cable modem and router, everything worked fine.
The reason i know port forwarding is working is that there is a buttom in emule that can check this.
Did you get a new router with that service? There is always the chance that the modem is a peice of junk. P2P apps (especially bittorrent) put quite a bit of strain on routers, if it isn't very powerful things might start to crawl.
Gizmo is the device that connects phone to the internet. Sunrocket provides it for you. Is that what you meant by new router?
It probably is peice of junk but it works fine when i download stuff from ftp servers. I get speeds that are 300+ kbs.
This problem is really weird.
And thanks for trying to help me.
Modem, Router, Gizmo. Then the router will assign it an IP address.
From what I see, the cable from the router to the gizmo would go from a LAN port on the router into the WAN port on the gizmo, you would then have no cable in the lan port. In your router setup, make the IP address assigned to the GIZMO the DMZ location for testing purposes and see if the phone still works. If that works, test your P2P apps. If they work, then figure out exactly which ports need to be forwarded to the Gizmo and take it off of DMZ.
I would probably say that gizmo is applying some sort of QOS for the voice and therefore giving small amounts of bandwidth to the other non-real time applications.
Thanks alot TornadoQuake. It worked! The quality of the phone seems to be good too.
Right now Gizmo is still on DMZ. I still have to find out wat ports i need to forward. Do i just have to call sunrocket or is there a faster way?
