This is my post from the Electronics forum which is located here if anyone want's to catch up:

This issue would be better addressed in this forum so I'm just going to copy my last post from this and I'd like to have everyone in here take a look at the situation I'm having. Thanks.

I did. Originally what I wanted to do was set it up so I had a 907 number so it means no long distance for them. But Vonage doesn't offer the 907 code yet. But they say they're expanding, so hopefully they'll add it soon. One issue I'm having, and this might be better addressed in the Computers forum, is that I currently have the phone router (which is a Linksys by the way) set up in front of my wireless router. (Which is a US robotics) Here's a map I pulled from Vonage's site:

The phone router is basically just the phone jack and it's pulling an IP from my "gateway" router via DHCP. Of course, this essentially created two networks. According to Linksys's support site, I can't use and services that require port forwarding like Azuraus. I'm still playing with it because, frankly, I don't believe their assessment. If that doesn't work, I'm going to try and put the phone adapter behind my router and see what happens.

Now, here’s another question. Is anybody using this setup also using bit-torrent clients requiring port forwarding? If so, How'd you do it?
