hi nate... i do not find "DNS Proxy" inside my rt31p2.... here is what i have and how its set: firmware 1.30.01 Basic Setup obtain ip automatically host and domain are blank MTU disabled local DHCP server enabled client lease time 0 DNS fields 1 and 2 are all zeros ----------------- DDNS disabled ----------------- MAC Clone service disabled ---------------- Advanced Routing: NAT enabled Dynamic Routing disabled Static routing entry 1( ) all the fields are zeros -------------------- Security: Filter ip address range all zeros Filter port range all zeros Block WAN Requests: Block anonymous internet requests enabled filter multicast disabled filter internet NAT redirection disabled filter IDENT (port 113) enabled -------------------- VPN Passthrough: IPSec Passthrough: enabled PPPoE Passthrough disabled PPTP Passthrough enabled -------------------- Port range forwarding all zeros ------------------ Port triggering all zeros ----------------- UPnP forwarding all disabled ----------------- DMZ disabled ---------------- QoS all options disabled (including voice Qos) ---------------- Administration: router passwords are as they were from day one remote upgrade disabled remote admin disabled UPnP disabled -------------- Voice Version 3.6.1(LI) ==============
results of ipconfig/all:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

so, with that said, not sure where to go to turn off DNS Proxy.... it occurs to me entering DNS server numbers manually into rt31p2 may actually accomplish the disabling of DNS proxy since i don't have a tick on/off option... so will try that out and see what happens. thanks

actually, your local PC is already doing its own DNS. If it was using a proxy, it would show as "192.168.15.1" as your DNS server. So it's not a DNS proxy issue...

If the PC already has the DNS numbers directly, then the setting would have no effect. You can safely ignore my advice.

according to local area connection properties - tcp/ip properties, those numbers are in the fields and ticked to be used by the pc. i assume then i can safely remove them from the rt31p2.
and i have come to the conclusion that anyone who ignores your advice does so at their own risk... you da man.
i'm gonna give this a couple-four days and see what unfolds. will report back as the story develops....

Sounds like you have already bypassed the DHCP proxy by manually specifying DNS servers on each client. Clumsy, but it works.
Don't know why the connection would be failing like that, though. That's a bizarre one.

since original post, i have not dropped a call nor lost internet a single time.
however all is not sweetness and joy...
sometime yesterday through mid-day today, calling my phone got one an ear full of static, instead of my usual home answering machine message. i'm sure the message was in there, just under all the noise. (vonage voice mail is back up, my home machine is always on... even if i'm home.)
so just for fun, i went in and enabled voice qos at 256, my advertised upload speed, and enabled port based qos, with port 1 (the only one used) at high priority, flow control disabled and ingress rate limit disabled, just as an effort to try to address the noise and maybe if i was lucky improve overall quality in the tests. no real change in the test results - i'm still between a crappy cell phone call and a good cell phone call - but the static went away. i'm thinking it had more to do with the reboot when settings were saved, but i wanted to pass this on for your reflection.
my original problem has returned.... with only the rt31p2 in line between modem and computer, i have again come home or awakened in the morning to find the phone light out and no internet. reboot. work on the computer, browse some websites, suddenly i can't get to any websites, and within a minute or two, phone light goes out on rt31p2 and i have to reboot again. three times yesterday, twice so far this morning and i've not even been at it an hour yet.
i have just about reached my limit with vonage...
** i rebooted before i started writing this post... before i could hit "submit" it died again, had to reboot to post this...
