Hello KidJoe,

I wish I could be of more help but I really don't know how to fix your problem... what I said before worked OK for me. Here's the DD-WRT version I'm using: Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/10/09) mini and the router is a Buffalo WHR-G125.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages....

I started my post like that because I feel like a clown trying to make my router work.

I have a Linksys WRT160N v1. Actually, there is no version number printed next to the model number, so I assume it is a v1. I got the router when it first came out.

Anyway, I have been following the instructions in this thread to the letter, but I keep running into the same problem.

When I get to the part of

I read your posts and I think the reason why you couldnt install mjproxy due to your DD-WRT voip version installed, this version is too big to leave room for JFFS. Just reflash your 160N with DD-WRT mini version so you have more room to enable JFFS, then you should be fine.

The WRT160N v.1 and v.3 both have 4MB flash memory and DD-WRT supported ( v.2 is not ) however you need to flash your router with mini version which has about 3.2 - 3.3MB with supports JFFS, anything bigger will take most memory so you cannot enable and create JFFS partition.

Let us know if this solves your problem.

You dont have dial tone, but do you see your SPA2102 line registers or not ? ( the lights on SPA2102 is up when line 1 or 2 registerred ) You did not mention that.
I see your mjproxy is running from bin istead of mjp folder, in my Linksys 160N v.3 it is:
/jffs/mjp/bin/mjproxy 0.0.0.0 5070 proxy01.miami.talk4free.com 5070 YOURLONGPASSWORD
and it registers no problem. As you can see, your MJ proxy should be in ALL lower case, only your MJ password is upper case. Using proxy1.xxx or proxy01.xxx depends on what works for you, mine is proxy01.xxxxx in router and works fine, even my Firewall reports MJ dongle contacts to proxy1.xxxx when plugged directly to my pc.
Your proxy outbound and inbound settings are correct.
SIP Reg/User Agent Name does not matter as my router doesnt need to fill that info and still registerred.
Port forwarding 5070 is unnecessary in my case.
mjproxy 0.0.0.0 address starting part of your router start-up command is correct, you dont have to worry about that.

You should run your MJ username/password with X-Lite or some SIP softwares first ( along with MJMD5 ) to test if you have a correct password ( 20 upper case letters ) to see if you can register and make call. If it works with SIP softwares then it should work with mjproxy running in router.

Thats all I can think of at the moment, recheck all of your info in SPA2102 ( username, password, SIP port etc.. ) and try again.

Thanks, mesamagic.

I will give X-Lite a try. I did not run MJMD5 with it, which could be why it is not working.

Things sure got a lot more complicated. You'd think the MJ people would want us to use their service instead of worrying about stopping people.

edit: I have checked and everything is lower case other than my password.

What utility works these days for extracting the password? I used password finder 2.2 before, but it is possible (doubtful) that I am entering the password incorrectly. I should confirm it just to be sure. I tried running PW finder 2.2 today and all it gives me is my username (E##########01). Did MJ update the dongle so it won't give up the PW anymore?

My line 1 light only comes on flashing if I pickup the phone. It is not on, otherwise. I guess I am not registering.

I am also noticing that the startup command in the router is not starting. I am manually doing it with Putty for the moment. But, one thing at a time. If I can make/receive calls, the startup command is going to be taken care of.

You're very welcome, JOFTAA. I guess you're ALMOST there, just a few more steps to correct minor things that we just overlook sometimes, and you will be happy as I would when I thought I gave up but I didnt finally...

Opp, didnt see your edit part.

I've used SIPDump and it works everytime, you can take a look here
http://magicjackhacks.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=76&Itemid=69
which has all things you need. The newest upgrade doesnt stop us to pull out MJ password, I tried yesterday and SIPDump still works.

If line 1 only flashing when you pickup the phone then that means your SPA2102 is NOT registered yet, when it registered the light should be on at all time, and only flashing when you pickup the phone to make or receive calls.

JOFTAA, dont be discouraged yourself, seems like there're some folks cant get SIPDump to work doesnt matter what they try, you're not the only one.

Trick ? I dont have any, but by re-reading posts on the link I gave you, there's one " trick " from a guy which may work for you.

[/quote] written by neverchk , February 21, 2010
I got a 20-char string that repeated 3x immediately before the SIP.Connection.Refresh line. I guess that's my password.
The trick that worked for me is to do a dozen dumps starting immediately as you plug in MJ. Watch the dumps as they go. I'm using Windows7 and the dump progress messages are on top of everything else so its easy to keep track of which one is in progress. The first few went quickly and then they slowed down. For me #5 was the first one to go slowly and during that dump my phone number in the MJ display went from 000-000-0000 to my proper number. #6 is where I found my password string. [/quote]

I suspect somethings that prevent some folks from making SIPDump to work, are their pcs spec and/or antivirus software which doesnt let SIPDump to access RAM. My pc is a quad-core 8GB RAM 1066 1,5 TB SATA drive custom build myself, runs clean and fast. When SIPDump tries to dump from MJ, looks like it squeezes most of CPU's power including RAM to the max, my CPU monitor software shows that. With my pc's power, I need to run only 1 or sometimes 2 dumps to get 26,284KB each dump and the password is right on the first dump 90% of the time easily, and I've pulled out passwords from 4 of my MJ so far, all registered and run well on my ATAs.
If you think your pc could be the case, I'd recommend to bring your MJ to a friend who has good, powerful pc and run SIPDump from his pc to see if you're successful this time.

We'll try to "unknot" one by one, until you get the job done, hopefully.

Good luck.

I am going to go ahead and disable my anti virus software and run SIPdump 12 times from the time the MJ is inserted.

I'll report back.

Thanks.

Edit: More frustrated than before.

Here is the deal. Password Finder 2.2 is not working. PMdump is not working. I am unable to get my password.

There was ONE time yesterday that Password Finder 2.2 worked and gave me a password, but apparently I only wrote down 19 of the 20 characters. Is it possible to have a 19 character password? Or, are they all 20 characters?

At this point, I am stuck without a password.

My PC is Win7 x64 and the password utils won't even run on here. My son has Win7 x32, but when I run PMdump on his computer, there is an error message. My wife's computer is just deadly slow. But, her computer is the one that Password Finder 2.2 worked on yesterday, although I cannot get a repeat performance for some reason.

Unless someone has an idea to get the password, I am raising the white flag. I usually don't give up, but apparently this password is not forthcoming.

I am willing to give someone remote access to my system if they think it will work. I have to do it when my computer is not on the government secure network, so we'd have to setup a time to try.

While I do appreciate everyone's help, I feel stuck at this point.

I'm sorry to hear that none of the recommended methods work for you, even you have already done everything possible. Yes its tricky to pull password from MJ, and to some people its a nightmare I guess.

I tried Password Finder 2.2 before and it refused to run on Windows 7 x64, it popped out error same like your, while SIPDum works and give me my MJ password wonderfully everytime. Its an amazing tool to many people.
To me, MJ password always comes out with exactly 20 characters, and by reading all the posts here, I assume its 20 characters all the time, never seen any report which says 19 or less ( or more ) characters.

You can go to this thread and search for a guy name neo2121, in his posts's signature you will see his email contact, and I think he can help you to get your password for 5 bucks or something if you decide to go that way.
