thanks for responding, someone else has answered my question in another forum - 

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20464573-Dry-Loop-DSL-home-wiring-question?r=841

I'll be doing what he suggested but to answer your questions, 

I DO have a NID, not sure how its wired outside. (raining now)

I have the 4 wire traditional phone lines running to each jack in the house

Thanks again

I have the exact situation that you are asking about.  My house was already wired with CAT 5 phone wiring (4 twisted pairs).  What I did was connect the DSL line to one of the unused twisted pairs going into the house.  I then wired the interior jack that the DSL modem is connected to use only the twisted pair that is brought in from the outside.  Since this is also the jack where my V-Portal connects to the house, I added another jack (dual phone jack) and wired the second jack to use the regular two lines that I use throughout the house.  E-mail me if this is not clear and I'll try to better explain my setup.

Need more information on the phone wiring in your house to best answer your question.

I&#8217;ve had success wiring Vonage in a 118 y/o house in which some of the phone wire was fabric-covered rubber insulated 16 ga wire, probably dating from the 1920s.

Need to know more information to provide a reliable course of action.

1.  Do you have a single house with your own network interface device?  Is it wired for two or more pairs?  If not, how does the phone wire come in?

2.  What kind of phone wiring is throughout your house?
- Red, Green and Black, Yellow
- White/blue, Blue/white and White/orange, Orange/white
- Cat 5
- a mix

3.  Are all your jacks wired for 2 line use?  Or, at least, is the jack you will have the DSL &#8220;MoDem&#8221; attached to hooked up for at least two lines lines?

Please reply and I&#8217;ll try to suggest how to do this.

Forgive me if this question has been answered before but I've already searched for a solution and I can't find a definitive answer.

Here is my current situation,

I have Comcast for internet and vonage for phone service. I'm going to be switching over to AT&amp;amp;T for DSL internet service. I'm keeping my Vonage line and ordering a Dry Loop DSL connection from AT&amp;amp;T (no conventional phone service from AT&amp;amp;T).

My question is how do I wire my phone jacks with Vonage once I make the switch to AT&amp;amp;T? Right now my inside phone wiring is completely disconnected from the phone company and my vonage router is connected to all the phone jacks throughout the house.

Once my DSL is activated I'd like to be able to connect the inside home wiring (with the Vonage router connected to it) to the DSL line coming in from the outside (This configuration would make things alot easier) I know your not supposed to do this with a DSL shared line but I want to know if this is possible with a DSL dry loop line. Is this a good idea or is this going to damage my Vonage router?

Please only respond if you KNOW the answers to these questions. I appreciate your time and help.

<title>VT2442 behind wireless router issues</title>
<link>http://www.vonage-forum.com/ftopic22422.html</link>

Hello,
Update: With further research I have solved the problem. 

I have found some info posted but my problem is still perplexing me as I am receiving the &quot;This device is not setup...&quot; error message
Here is my configuration:
Cable modem -&amp;gt; Dlink DIR-655 wireless router -&amp;gt; Motorola VT2442.
The Dlink is set to provide DHCP and is working properly.  The VT2442 is to be used only for phone connection.  All three of these units are physically together with no other switches etc between them.

Per advice from our forum advisors: (1) On the wireless router: I have added port forwarding for 53, 21,69,2400,80,123,5061, 10000-20000.  I assigned this to ip address: 192.168.15.4 (random and outside DHCP range)

With DHCP, the Dlink assigns addresses starting at 100 up. Here is info from my computer:
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.15.198
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.15.1

The DHCP range starts at 100.  I need to know what else needs to be set (for each menu item) on either device to make this work.  I cannot find steps to give the VT2442 the IP address of 15.4.  Prior to the addition of the dlink, I had the VT2442 performing DHCP and routing with no problems.  Any advice/links appreciated, more info provided if necessary.. thanks

How many LAN ports does the integrated modem/router have?  Can one be dedicated to the Vonage device with the hub on another?

I did remove the hub, but even with hub, audio does not start disappearing right away. I cannot run withough hub for extended period of time as I do not have enough ports.

<title>RTP300 static local IP (i.e. 192.168.15.x)</title>
<link>http://www.vonage-forum.com/ftopic22394.html</link>

Hi,

The RTP300 generally assigns ports as follows:
  DHCP Address Range:   192.168.15.100 to 192.168.15.149  

So if you use something between 150 and 254 for the fourth octet ie: 192.168.15.150,  you should be all set.

You should get a better answer to this in the VoIP forum where the networking guys hang out most.  I'm not much on such things.  However, I think you can just assign the static address that you want in the network setup for the printer.  However, you need to choose an address outside the range assigned by DHCP in the RTP300.  To do that, you may need to change that range in the RTP300 setup.
