I know this doesn't really fit here, hence posting in chit chat. At the same time there's some knowledgeable guys who might be able to help.
I use a Panasonic KX-NT556 to connect to the work VOIP phone system. It usually works a treat but we often have connectivity problems down to the poor wiring in the office and an unreliable ISP at that end. This manifests itself with my phone losing connection and rebooting itself. The issue is that when it reboots I can no longer connect to the system.
In order to connect I have to switch off the phone, reboot my broadband router and then turn the phone on again. Then it works. This is fine unless I am working on something over the internet and can't really spare the time to reboot the router due to tricky VPN access etc. It's rather annoying to say the least.
I'm guessing that as the router reboot solves the problem it's likely to be a port issue on the home network. Can anyone talk me through how to go about diagnosing this problem? I have a Windows machine and a OS X machine available to me. The router is a crappy Huawei device from my ISP.
