problem to register from public Wi-fi hotspots

(1/2) > >>

shur:
I recently purchased a DPH-541 and it works fine from the network at work and from home (on a completely different network). In both cases I am connecting to an Asterisk SIP Server at work.  On public wi-fi networks, I can get an IP address, but can't connect to the SIP server.  I have tried with and without a STUN server and the result is the same. With the STUN server I get "STUN  - NAT DETECTED" displayed but the registration does not go through. Can you suggest a way of finding out what is going on here, and hopefully to resolve the problem? Thanks.

WiFi:
if your SIP service needs login from HTML interface, or that type of similar login method, it's possible the phone needs a separate password and name input.

D-Link said it can't login to such a requirement, but I saw an option on the wireless network settings page called PPPOE

it looks like this... *graphics not included :D *,  when the "PPPOE" is selected, a separate Name/Password are allowed the be entered.
I've never tried it yet, but plan to with my wifi hot-spots supplied by my own ISP,
but, be careful ... if it's an OPEN system, anyone can see your password and account#
when you log into it, along with any data, and can "tap" into your conversation.
 
IP Setting: DHCP  Fixed IP  .> PPPOE  

 User Name: 
 Password: 

I have no idea if this was meant for this purpose, but it's worth a try at least. :P

shur:
I downloaded the latest Dlink firmware from the website and now there is a menu on the phone for hotspots under Profiles, where you can enter userid and password. I haven't yet tested how well this works. They haven't updated the user manual yet either, but at least there is hope on the horizon.

Fatman:
That is not what PPPoE is for, and I would strongly recommend against trying that.

shur:
The hotspot menu on the phone that is offered in the new firmware is not (I presume) for PPP over Ethernet.  But it will help when the honchos at D-Link update the manual to reflect these changes, and also update the web interface so that this branch of the menu is visible there too.
