IDNet Help / Re: iDNet and email
Last post by Tacitus - Apr 22, 2026, 12:44:53Quote from: Simon on Apr 22, 2026, 12:09:24Without wishing to state the bleedin' obvious, is Authentication enabled for both incoming and outgoing mail in her IDNet account settings in her mail client?No worries Simon. I've had this stuff going round a round.
The Mac Mail client is set exactly as it was before with "automatically manage the connection settings" A quick peek showed there was no authentication set for outgoing. So much for the automatic management....
I've now input a username and password and so far so good. I'll give it while to settle down and hopefully she'll not have any more trouble.
Thanks very much Simon. It really was driving me mad

IDNet Help / iDNet and email
Last post by Tacitus - Apr 22, 2026, 11:54:03Following her move to Zen, a relative signed up for iDNet's "continuation" email service including spam/malware protection.
However she's been unable to connect using POP3/SMTP using her old credentials- they've remained exactly as before. Zen say the iDNet servers are regarding her as a spam bot and refuse to connect her. She can use iDNet webmail via a browser.
Has anyone used this "continuation" email service, or know of anyone who has used it successfully. My feeling is the iDNet servers are blocking Zen IP addresses. Nowhere do iDNet make it clear it is a webmail only service so the assumption is there is something wrong with her Mail app settings and endless hours have been wasted trying to sort it......
Any help appreciated

IDNet Help / Re: VoIP stopped registering y...
Last post by Simon - Apr 21, 2026, 19:55:59We like people who solve their own problems! 
Funnily enough, assuming this is UBOSS, I did the same with my TP Link VX230v, except I changed the ring time to 30 seconds. I then couldn't receive incoming calls, which rang once at the callers end then disconnected, and I got a weird message which I can't now remember, when I tried to make a call. I phoned IDNet and somehow my line had been 'blocked'. Chloe reset it there and then, but other than adding a couple of numbers to the block list, I've not touched any router settings since.

Last post by exxos - Apr 21, 2026, 19:28:43OK SOLVED ?!
I changed Bound Interface: from LAN to ANY_WAN and connected right away. I never even touched that setting before.

IDNet Help / VoIP stopped registering yeste...
Last post by exxos - Apr 21, 2026, 18:19:40It's been working fine for months. Yesterday I changed the No Answer Time from 10 to 20 seconds. May or may not be coincidental, but the phone hasn't worked since. Calls to our landline from a mobile beep a couple of times and drop; outbound calls do similar.
In the router "Telephone Numbers" page there's a grey circle with a cross — VoIP isn't registering. Router log says "every IP of the domain has been tried, but we didn't find the correct one!" — retrying every 30s, all failing.
IDNet support has asked me to delete and re-add the config, done that (and rebooted), no change.
A few other things I've checked:
DNS resolves sbc.insmartcloud.com to 83.137.183.171 consistently (AdGuard and Google resolvers both return the same single IP, no failover).
Ping to that IP gets nothing back — but I know that might just be ICMP filtering at the SBC.
Checked from another UK line on a different ISP — same ping timeout.
check-host.net shows the IP unreachable from 54 global test nodes (again, could just be ICMP filtering).
Tracert dies at Cogent (149.14.250.234) before reaching the destination network.
The IP belongs to DRD Communications plc / QUDO platform (ASN 34967), not IDNet directly — I'm guessing it's their wholesale VoIP upstream.
Internet is otherwise fine.
Anyone else seeing this, or any ideas what to try next?
Thanks,
Chris

IDNet Help / Re: IdNet Down?
Last post by zappaDPJ - Apr 14, 2026, 15:57:11Something doesn't seem right but I'm not sure what the problem is. I've been getting sporadic search failures and the inability to download files from certain sites this afternoon. I thought it was WiFi related but perhaps not.
