waiting for proxy registration

Post by newmagic »

I am getting a message "waiting for proxy registration" when I try to make a phone call using magic jack.

Does any one know how to solve this problem?

Thanks!

One thing a newbie should always do is search the forum for a post with the same question as the one you want to ask, you would have found this post 9 or 10 posts down from yours, with a possible solution.

My Magic worked fine I ever since I bought it until today for some reason it suddenly went belly up. I could hear the dial tone but could not make a call.
I tried everything I have been sitting here for hours and have most of my hair left :)

The Vista upgrade did not resolve the "waiting for proxy registration" error. Nor did turning off firewalls, unplugging, upgrading and down grading, adding call4free host to allowed browser lists and it's DNS addy. I even made a backup months ago of the files on the dongle and replaced those.

I had to fire up FlashGet in order to get the Vista upgrade file(the browser refused to load the DL). When FlashGet started up it cold not access it's own download list file. So then I had to fix that also. It turned out that Vista had self changed the file permissions on FlashGet's Default download file thus denying FlashGet access to it's own resource. I changed the file permissions back and wahlaa FlashGet was fixed.

I have encountered this issue several times in Vista with various files with their permissions
suddenlychanged in the past. I had a disk watching program installed once(forget it's name) I eventually uninstalled because it repeatedly popped up warnings about Vista changing file permissions constantly.

With that in my mind I searched the C:\ Drive for MagicJack Files. I found several and it would take forever to reset each file permission individually and Vista doesn't allow a batch job for that.

I decided it would be easier to simply delete all of the files while making sure magicjack was off beforehand.

Afetr deleting them I pulled a reboot and replugged in MJ and wahlaaa! It is now working like the error never had happened. Geeze! It only took me 6+ hours of a nice Sunday afternoon to figure the fluke out.

I hope this post will help several of you who are still stuck for a workiong resolution.


Best Regards,
