Is this a WRT54G?  I've heard that the default and some replacement
firmware has problems with peer-to-peer connections.  Something
about it keeping a record of them for up to 5 days and eventually
you run out of ports to do anything.  So, anything with an already
open connection (like the phone, which presumably keeps a connection
to the main server to be able to accept incoming calls) will still
work but anything new won't.

The article I read pointed at firmwares that didn't have the problem,
but I don't have the reference right now.

Cheers,
Tanner
