On the install of 4.4, I used the hostname and had the installer install DHCP and DNS as well. There are no other DNS servers on the network. This is why I do not understand why I have to 'fix' my DNS. Isn't sipX supposed to config everything correctly on install (assuming I entered the right values during setup)?

If using hostname is a valid setup, than why did ext to ext calls not work without adding DNS aliases under System>Domain (per Tod's instructions). Tony said I should not have to do that, but instead I needed to fix my DNS, and, if I understand his last email on this correctly, this is why the v-mail indicator LED does not work. But, again, if the install set up the DNS config and I made no changes then why is DNS broken?

Right now everything works except the v-mail indicator (I've not completed remote phone testing).

So, being willing to do whatever is needed to get sipX up and running, I honestly do not care if I use domain or hostname for setup. Can I easily switch from using hostname to domain without doing a reinstall?

I'm happy to fix my DNS if someone will help me understand why it was broken to begin with being that it is the only DNS server on the network and it was using the default config.

    Are you saying that the problem results from my extensions
    registering as [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
    instead of [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>?

    In a previous post I was told by someone that if I have no
    intention of adding additional servers, I can use host.domain.com
    <http://host.domain.com> as the sip domain during install instead
    of domain.com <http://domain.com> and this is a perfectly
    acceptable solution and that this results in basically an A record
    setup instead of a SRV record setup. Is this not the case?

    You've mentioned a few time that I need to "Fix my DNS," which I'm
    very willing to do, but I've also been told that the DNS should be
    setup correctly on install since I'm installing DNS on the same
    server during the sipX install. There are no other DNS servers on
    the network.

    If I have to go back to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> do
    I have to do another reinstall or is there another way to switch over?

    Its the fact you are registering to the host name instead of the
    domain.

    Fix your DNS.

        I just noticed that since I upgraded sipX to 4.4 and my
        Polycom IP 335
        phones to firmware 3.2.6 and BootROM 4.2.2, I no longer get a
        v-mail
        notification on the Phones. The message indicator LED does
        not flash and
        there is no indication on the display except "1 new missed call".

        I do not know enough yet to know if the issue is with
        sipX/Polycom
        interoperability or with firmware or with the BootROM.

        Any clues?
