What you are seeing is common and due to the address translations that
are taking place between your PC and the BCM. Another, but less likely,
possibility is a firewall somewhere. The only solution I know of is to
run a VPN from your network to your corporate network and send the VoIP
traffic through the VPN. You will need a contivity box on your end AND
the VPN keycode on the BCM and most importantly, someone to set it up
properly - not necessarily a trivial thing. Having said all this, when
you get it setup, it will likely work very well - my experience anyway.

Jake,

As Jim mentioned you need to set up a VPN. I have done this many
(almost too many) times. If you have a VPN/Firewall device already in
use at your main office you should have no problem setting up a VPN on
it. Once that is done you need a hardware device (VPN/Router) for the
remote locations. Our favorite device is the Linksys BEFSX41 (lovingly
know by us as the "Beef Sex 41".

The BEFSX41 will allow you to set up a VPN to your office. The BEFSX41
will use the dynamically assigned IP address that your cable modem
gives it. Then in the VPN settings you have to give your computer and
IP Phone an internal IP address which should be assigned by the BEFSX41
via DHCP. The VPN will also know the internal network address of the
telephone network (i.e. 10.0.0.x ) or whatever internal IP address
range you are using. If you need help setting this up please check out
the following website - http://routerworld.dyndns.org/ - they have
excellent information on how to make this work with several different
devices.

If you need further help I have some documentation that I have prepared
which may help you somewhat.

Good Luck!

Thank you both for your help. I really appreciate it.

I will buy BEFSX41 for remote location. What can I use for VPN in the
office? Can I use 2 BEFSX41 routers or do you recommend some other VPN
router?
I would love to see any documentation that you might have since I
don't have much experience with VPN.

Thank you

BCM will terminate the VPN tunnel on the head end, if you have the keycode
for it. Otherwise, another beefsex is in order.
