Hey man, I'm having another problem related to this setup you've helped me with, I think.
After about 15 minutes, my connection dies. I think I have found the problem. I cannot clear my ARP cache. My router still works and stuff but my PC which is feeding off the router cannot hit websites or get email via Outlook. Is there a setting for me to fix in the router? Some sort of pass-thru? If I could get THIS solved, I'd be golden!
Thanks again for sharing your expert knowledge...

15 min. your connection dies? So you do have internet access for about 15 min? during this 15 min. are you able to access outlook or visit websites during this period? If so I doubt its a port but could be a virus on computer..if not a virus then somehow your pc is losing its wan IP address from the mta. I would give the pc a static ip: 192.168.102.110 subnet: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.102.1
You can flush the arp cache via command prompt. I'm sure you did that already so see if the static ip assignment keeps the connection alive.

Weird, eh? Yup. I've done that. In FACT... If I don't set a static IP address, I don't get an IP address. DHCP is turned on on the VT1000. I won a Linksys Vonage router on eBay and I'm hoping that will help. But basically right now I'm at a static IP address with 192.168.102.103 as my address, 255.255.255.0 as the subnet and 192.168.102.1 as the gateway. If I'm using the switch, the thing eventually fills up with connections and goes kaflooey. Nothing. The connection slowly dies. I can artificially keep it alive by typing ARP -D * every few minutes in a command prompt but basically if I, say, leave to eat or watch the football game, I'll come back and it's gone to sleep.
I have XP SP2. I've been doing a lot of research on the 'net and other people are having this problem, too.
Would any of the switches in the Linksys work?
Doesn't really matter... I tried for a couple hours tonight and couldn't even get to the admin screen on the router. Tried resetting it, tried it wiht static and defined IP addresses... nothing would work...
