You did go to the FWD "Extra Features" page on my.FWD tab and enable permnant forwarding to sip:18135551212@sip123.ath.cx:5061 where of course you would change the number and address right?
Yes I did. I've been trying different port numbers now.
Here's the main of what I did so far: I made my RTP300 phone adapter in my DMZ of my netgear router and tried the following:
(phone and address being mine...not these. If you want to try to call me message me and i'll send you my info) sip:12155551212@myaddress.com:5060 then tried sip:12155551212@myaddress.com:5061
Then I though..well maybe it just needed to be directly connected to the phone adapter. So I rewired my network to have the phone adapter first...tried the same as above and still nothing ringing on my side. I did watch the activity light and it flickered a little when the call was suppost to be coming through...so it seems like something is happening.
I was able to use X-lite and make a call to my dad who I set up with FDW today.
Right now I'm trying more ports....if anyone has a suggestion let me know. As mentioned above, if you'd like to try my actual numbers to see if it works, message me directly. thanks.

You can use X-Lite to test your ports too. You can try different ports by dialing 18135551212@sip5555.ath.cx:5061 and keep changing the port number to see if your phone rings.
I'll keep messing with it this week. No hurry on it. Thanks for all your help.
You dont need the sip: with the dialer. BTW the sip: goes like this sip:18135551212@sip5555.ath.cx:5061
Also I have read that you can call FWD users from your Vonage telephone. I am going to mess with this today. Tried it yestarday and it didnt work but maybe I was doing it wrong. Of course if that does not work you can call for instance 973-494-5586 and enter option 2 and then enter the FWD number and it will call them.
Yeah thats what I did with my dad last night. I got him set up on FWD cause he travels a lot. While trying to test it I called a philly number and put in his FWD and it got to him ok.
So far my progress today as been like this: I checked what ports could be affecting it, and I went through my mac's firewall port settings to see what it uses. Turns out port 123 is used to configure the network time. So I told my router to route port 123 to my linksys only.
Also found out that if I try to port 10,000 to 20,000 on my netgear router to the linksys adapter - I cant make calls. So I took that range off and left everything else routing to the linksys router for now.
