We'll try. Please start by giving us the information listed here: http://www.vonage-forum.com/ftopic7191.html . Include the cabling of your equipment and the things you've tried so far. Does the Vonage adapter work if you leave the Belkin out?

I have the same model router. It works fine. Some things to try:

1) if you are using MAC address filtering, ensure that the MAC of your telephone adapter is listed in the table. This router filters both wireless and wired connections, not just wireless.
2) Set your TA for a static IP address. The procedure for this will vary. Ensure that it is outside the DHCP range (I keep the .100-.200 range for DHCP, and assign statics in the .9x range).
3) Under the "Virtual Servers" section, enable a UDP port forward of ports 5060-5061.

That is what I did with my Linksys PAP2. I have had no further trouble.

Thanks Guys for your Help. I finally got the issue resolved. Now I feel like a first class Idiot. The cabling that came with the modem was bad and hence didn't work with the TA.

Thanks for your Help and Assistance
