I had been using Vonage talk for some time and all of a sudden had the problems with "SIP Account is not connected". I tried the advice from the Vonage Talk forum (at http://alpha.vonage.com) per below which solved my problem. Then one day, it did not connect, so I rem'd the host line out and all is good again.
BTW, if you are running Vista, you will need to run notepad in administrator mode to make the change to the hosts file.
So, my suggestion is to try the hosts file fix below:
"For those who are able to log into Vonage Talk but receiving the message "SIP Account is not connected" when attempting to place a call, you may need to place an entry into the hosts file on your computer.
What appears to be occuring, at least for some users, is that the computer the Vonage Talk client is performs a DNS lookup each time the client attempts to contact one of the Vonage Talk servers. This causes the connection to fail since the session that was created on one server does not exist on other one. The solution is to force the computer to only use one server. The hosts file stops the computer from performing a DNS lookup on internet address names stored in the file and use the IP address contained in the file instead.
To do this, simply open the hosts file with a text editor (such as Notepad) and add a line at the end of it that says the following:
69.59.232.110 a.vonim.com
The hosts file is located in different locations for each operating system.
Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista: (Windows Directory)system32driversetc Windows 95/98/Me: (Windows Directory)
Linux and other Unix-like operating systems: /etc
Mac OS X: /private/etc"
