The Soft Phone is the way to go with this setup. Nortel has the I2050 Soft Phone that our sales people use. We have also set up remote sites connecting back to the PBX using 1120E & 1140E phones. But not to individual homes. We are a Nortel distributor, email me off list with any questions. Todd Lemmiksoo Network Administrator

You nailed it. Unless you expose your phone system to the net (never!) or manage to create site to site VPN's to you users homes, that's not going to work. What a lot of people use in those cases are Soft Phones. Soft Phones run on your PC while it is VPN'd in and offers most of the features of the phone. Ask about Soft Phones. From: Marty Nelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 2:04 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Does Anyone Have Nortel 1120E IP Phones Happy New Years all! The company I work for picked up a couple to play with thinking that when people work from home, they can pick up one of these phones, take it home, plug into their home network, VPN into the office and we're all set. When someone rings their extension in the office rings, it gets forwarded to the 1120E that the user has taken home. Well, me being the guinea pig that I am volunteered to take one of these phones home, and it's not working. Its addressing is setup for DHCP, so it gets an address from my network, with the default gateway being my wireless AP which makes sense to me as to why this phone isn't working My wireless AP doesn't know or care about my laptops PPTP VPN connection, so it's sending the phones data out to the real world, or most likely dropping it altogether, Anyhow, any help would be GREATLY appreciated, as I feel like I'm stuck here and don't know how to get out.
