Multiple IP addresses on the same computer

If a user’s computer has more than one IP address, eyeBeam may have difficulty choosing the
correct address for softphone calls. To set the correct IP address manually, configure the following
settings as instructed below:

Settings Menu -> System -> Network -> Auto-Detect IP Address: Unchecked

Local IP Address: [User Computer’s IP Address]

NAT Firewall IP Address: [IP Address of the user’s NAT or firewall]

Another solution is to disable all but one network adapter until after eyeBeam starts.

RPort attribute

Some VoIP providers do not support the “rport” signaling attribute. Check with the VoIP service
provider for details. To turn off “rport” configure the following setting as instructed below:

Settings Menu -> Proxies -> [User’s Proxy] -> Advanced Options -> Use rport: Unchecked
