Help for VoIP (Vonage) hows yours configured?

[DRAKO]

Well, I just got my installation done, YAY... now all I'm trying to do is get my STB to make the phone call using my Vonage account..

I was just wondering if there is a specific setup you guys use if your vonage device is behid a router... What ports are you forwarding or what specifics? (also do you make your MTU 1500 or leave default?)

my network is like this:

vonage "static" 192.168.3.150 assigned as DMZ in router
linksys router (DHCP off) is 192.168.3.148 Gateway

the thing is that i assigned the Vonage harware IP 192.168.3.150, but for some reason in the wan port it's still not using that range (192.168.3.xxx), it uses its own 192.168.102.100


maybe I should make my gateway be something like the hardcoded vonage IP like

router: 192.168.102.2
vonage: 192.168.102.1
Vonage WAN port 192.168.102.xxx (DHCP assigned)

all this on the same 255.255.255.0 subnet

I think somehow the DMZ is not working right as I can receive calls but I cant make them, i get a dial tone but it never rings on the other end..

well sorry for the mumbo jumbo, but all help is appreciated, thanks

Make sure you dial "1" before all numbers you dial, even local. Your calls are all originating in Edison, NJ so they are all really long distance calls, you are just not charged that way for them. With my setup, I just gave the Vonage box a static IP and then forwarded the ports to the ATA that Vonage requests. I forget exactly which ones, but the Vonage website tells you which ones to forward, and they are all UDP.
