Basically, the problem arises when the phones are set to use DHCP to acquire an IP from their LAN, if the VPN is enabled the phone just continually says "Obtaining IP Address".

If I set a static IP on the phone, and enable the VPN, then everything works fine.

The problem is we have several phones we need to send to remote employees, so they just need to be able to plug them up and they will work.

The phones use the 6.73.0.50 firmware.

Is this a bug in the firmware? Where VPN only works if the phone has a static LAN IP?

Sorry for my english. I have same problem with T20p and 73 firmware (9.73.0.50 and 9.73.193.50 too). The phone only pick up adress when i disconnect end reconnect phisically the ethernet plug. But for me the static adress doesnt help, because then the phone cannot connect to the PBX behind the VPN (only in dhcp client mode and after phisical disconnect-reconnect). The only solution for me, was the downgrade to a 72 firmware (9.72.0.80).
