I'm a confirmed newbie in this area and probably suffering from information overload.  I'm quite confused over all the IP type addresses floating around even in a simple node to node system.  What I am trying to do is to omit the computer(s) in a very simple system whereby one plain old telephone is connected to an ATA (Linksys PAP2) at each of two nodes using WRT54GL's and BBHN 1.0.0.

I have gotten this to work fine using my wired LAN instead of the WRT54GL's.  I followed Linksys document id: 108746 (Configuring IP dialing on PAP2), only I modified it to use only line 2 on each ATA and to use a dial code of "77" for each phone to dial/ring/connect to the other.  Should be simple, but when I put the WRT54's in there instead of my wired LAN, I cannot get it to work.

I feel my problem is most likely in the dial plan.  Maybe someone can spot the error, or else give me some advice how it should all be set up.  I'm open to suggestions.  I'd like to get this working for a short range demonstration before a group coming up in a few days.

Here is the PAP2 dial plan used at the AE5K-104 node:

(77S0<:@AE5K-105:5061>)

and the AE5K-105 node:

(77S0<:@AE5K-104:5061>)

But I have also tried the various IP addresses associated with either node in place of the "AE5K-105" to no avail.  As I said before, it worked like a charm using assigned wired LAN addresses in place of the node name. (And I realize this simplistic configuration could be just a start toward more complex systems.)

Please steer me in the right direction before I wear out my RJ45 connectors!  Thanks...
