Without the benefit of packet analysis, it kinda sounds like some LAN IP address assignment issue or broadcast packet issue. Is the IP address for the phone dynamic or static assigned? Are all LAN devices dynamically assigned IP addresses by DHCP in the router? Any recent firmware update in the router or phone? Re: AGAIN we can not connect to certain websites! I take it, this is the case across all devices at your location. Re: Years of Bad Internet Problems Have you tried asking for an internet support Tier 2 manager? Re: 40mhz channels not appearing Do you have "n" mode enabled on your WiFi? Re: Is it normal to have a 98.xx.xx.xxx ip address ? It use to be 68.xx.xx.xxx Yes, Cox has assigned public IP address blocks starting with 98. Re: How can I block a telephone number? Since you replied directly to me rather than commentdirectly to the author, I'll reply in kind: 1. I started off by saying that if she happens to be in the market for a new phone or phone system an option would be purchasing a phone system with call blocking. So, yes, it is reasonable to assume that a purchase would have to be made. 2. The Panasonic call blocking database is storedin the main base and is system-wide. Therefore, all phones on the Panasonic system would be covered by the entries made from any phone into the Call-blocking database. 3. I am a senior citizen and I have no problem with the display or font size. Your experience mayvary. 4. I don't like to hear the phone ring,period, when the call is unwanted. The Panasonic system takes care of this by allowing me to set it to not ring on the first ring. Therefore, whether the call is blocked by the built-in call blocking list or Nomorobo, I never hear a single first ring. 5. The 250 number limitation, though a limiting factor, as I previously pointed out is enhanced by the ability to block numberpatterns (i.e. area codes, area codes+exchange), not just single numbers. If you don't block number patterns, the built-in databasecan fill up quickly and can become a management conundrumas you pointed out. 6. I have previously stayed away from after-market solutions like Phone Tray for 2 reasons; the solution placed in series with the phone line didn't pass the rings or the Caller ID info onto the connected phone wiring system that serves the entire house and with the solution placed in parallel with the phone line allowing the rings to all phones and the caller id info to be displayed on the phones but also allowed the first ring to be heard. Now that I have discovered thefeature on our Panasonic phone system to ignore the first ring, I'll probably revisit those after-market options that canbe connected in parallel with the phone system. Thanks for the reminder. Re: How can I block a telephone number? Another option to consider, if you happen to be in the market for a new cordless phone or cordless phone system, is to look at cordless phones at offer call blocking. Most Panasonic cordless phones, for example, offer call blocking of complete numbers and number patterns (i.e. 1-757-555-XXXX or 1-757-XXX-XXXX). You can even set the phone to not ring on the first ring, therefore when a received call comes from a number on the list or the number is blocked by Nomorobo, you'll never hear your phone ring. The display will light up showing the call and that it was blocked. But, again, you'll hear no ring if it is set to wait for the second ring. Also, some Panasonic cordless phone systems offer power backup whereby a cordless phone left in the main base will power your cordless phone system during a power outage. If you're on the newer system, your eMTAmodem would have to have a backup battery or your eMTA modem is powered by a UPS system during apower outage. Good luck. Re: Caller ID timestamp is approximately 11 minutes slow Thanks, but in my case, as previously stated, the timestamps are the same on 2 different autonomous caller id systems. 1 system consists of all handsets on the cordless phone system, while the second system is a standalone Caller ID display. The time displayed for each received call is sent by your switch along with all Caller ID info for each call. It is important that Cox get it right because most Cordless phone systems and Caller ID display systems derive the current time from the timestamps previously sent. For example, our cordless phone system will show the current time on Daylight Savings Time after 2 AM this Sunday, Nov. 4th until we receive a phone call after 2 AM. It will display 1 hour ahead all day Sunday until we get a phone call. If we don't get a call Sunday, it will continue to display the time 1 hour ahead until we do. Re: Caller ID timestamp is approximately 11 minutes slow The same thing is occurring this afternoon. The Cox switch is sending the wrong timestamp with the Caller ID info. Cox Tech Support states they are aware of the problem. I guess it's not a simple matter of periodically syncing with a trusted time standard. Re: Caller ID timestamp is approximately 11 minutes slow I was under the impression that the timestamp was sent along with the Caller ID info from the switch. Is this not the case?
