Port forwarding

Post by dhart94 »

I have been dealing with audio problems from the start.
Always choppy audio, and echo problems.
I have read some posts about port forwarding. My question is,
If i open the necessary ports on my westell modem/router with my
desktop pc, will the thin client hooked to the same modem/router
utilize the same ports???
Or, do i have to open ports 5060 and 5070 with the thin client??

Thanks in advance..

When you open ports in the router, they are open for all machines connected to that router - assuming you don't open the ports with access controls for only specific machines. All depends on what you do in your router.

A better suggestion - find out what proxy you're connecting to and block it to force MJ to another proxy that might give you better results. I used to have choppy audio and horrible echo when using the NYC proxy. But blocking it has made MJ a wonderful telephone system for me.

One more thing - have you raised the priority on the MJ executable? This also helps a lot. See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MagicJack/ ... o/Priority
