Thanks. When the threads develop multiple discussions, I get confuzzled. Confusing me is not hard to do, actually.

Nate- The first poster had a 900 MHz phone, but I'm not sure it's been verified that Joe does as well.
Joe- Is the cordless 900 MHz? If it's 2.4 GHz and you're using a wireless Vonage box, interference could be the issue.
I am experiencing the same problem with both a 900mHz and 2.4 gHz cordless phone.
I am not using a wireless Vonage box, but the issue does seem to be related to the wireless router I have. If I disable wireless, the cordless phone works fine. It will also work intermittenly with wireless enabled, but will just stop working and I'll have to go through the motions of opening the ports again (even though they are already open) to get the cordless to work, but the corded phone works fine the whole time.
I'll try to find the splitter I have and plug both the cordless and corded phone.
It is really frustrating my wife who is ready to cancel Vonage if we can't get the cordless phone to work reliably. I've tried just about everything I could find on the Vonage help site and the wireless router's site. The cordless seems to work fine for awhile, but then it stops working again.
If I move the cordless phone base away from the wireless router (say across the room), would that alleviate an interference issue or is there some settings I need to change?
Thanks again for all the help/suggestions thus far.

Yes, in general you want to keep all of your radio transmitters at least 6 feet apart if possible, more is better. Even radios operating on different frequencies, or even different frequency ranges, can occasionally interfere with each other if they are too close together.

Please keep us appraised of your resolution. This has been a very perplexing problem, especially with the 900 mhz phone involved.
