ProxyServer question
 

Hi all,
:rolleyes:
Sorry newbie on board. I just have to ask this...what if an "alphanumeric" proxy server input such as: "fwd.pulver.com" or "fwdnat.pulver.com:5083" doesn't work as entries in my endpoint (softphone) but rather it requires/accepts only the "usual numeric" entries, example: "205.2.170.5"???

:confused: Is there a way around this? does fwd.pulver.com for example have a "numeric proxy id" counterpart??? How do I find this out?

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Well in the case of fwd.pulver.com, the IP is 69.90.155.70

Usually you would run a tracert to find this...

Go to Start>>Run, type cmd, and then type 'tracert fwd.pulver.com' on the command window

Or even better, run

nslookup fwd.pulver.com

Thanks guys!..or gals
 

Great! Got it!

..although it didn't quite work... i mean, I think its because the SIP Proxy IP and Outbound Proxy where different (although this seems silly) ...or maybe its the NAT thingie...or the STUN...thingie..:confused: neither of which I can configure anyways...

well...back to the drawing board...silly clients didnt tell me about those thingies coming into play later on...I would have just put in a "blank field"...told them the notepad was better...:rolleyes:

Anyways, thanks for the help guys!..and/or gals...
