I was having the same problem with getting DHCP assignment from cable modem. After monkeying around with it for a while I decided to cycle power on the cable modem. That did the trick! It seems that it doesn't like a switch of client's MAC address without a power cycle. This may not be your situation, but that was what I ran into. > Part of the problem may be the number of ports that need to be open to the > outside world to support SIP.

I am not an iptables expert though. However, I was able to add in forwarding of a couple ports to another IP on the lan for a specific app (not voip related). I am using version 0.3 scripts though, not 0.4.
