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? |
I don't know if you figured this out yet or not, but here is the answer. Your Vonage router should have an IP range of 192.168.15.x. My computer router then has a static IP set to 192.168.15.2. On the Vonage router, I have 192.168.15.2 setup as the DMZ ip address. This means every port that isnt used by the Vonage router (all of them) is redirected to 192.168.15.2. Then on your computer router, you just setup your forwarding as if you had it directly on the cable modem.
