First of all - Phoner is really the best - for many weeks earlier this year I tried several other applications (some costing many Euros) but none compared to Phoner for ease of use, capabilities and configuration.
So congratulations go to you young man on your effort, dedication and attention in bringing Phoner to us.
However, I had one problem with it - that is I could always make outgoing calls - but SOMETIMES incoming calls would not be answered. After some hours of operation, incoming calls would go unanswered.
The situation drove me crazy. Here I had the perfect software for my needs but it appeared to fail in this one respect!
I tried a range of different hardware including a wired ethernet connection instead of wireless.
Even so it seemed that Phoner was not responding to the incoming signals reliably.
In sheer desperation to get Phoner responding to calls 24/7, I determined to debug the whole process from signalling through to audio output.
My choice to start by examining my own network setup proved to be lucky indeed.
In order to make the debug process easier, I first disabled DHCP on my router and set my fixed devices to static network addresses (192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.20).
So now the computer running Phoner has a fixed network address of 192.168.1.3
Since then ALL incoming signals have been processed correctly by Phoner!
I am still not certain why the change to static addressing should have made the great difference but I am so happy that it now works 100% reliably.
My VOIP service is provided by Sipgate (excellent and well recommended BTW)
My internet connection is ADSL provided by TalkTalk through the normal (copper
) British Telecom PSTN system.
Thanks again for PHONER - it really is the very best for me!
