Wifi and Vonage= an bad relationship

hello.
i have a v-portal and over the phone and forums i have tried and tried to get a simple solution to get my v-portal to work in a wireless hotel room where lan ports are not available.

the closest i came to was a link i received from a tech support man from Vonage;
http://windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/wxpbrdge.html

didn't work -- good chance i did something wrong but not sure...

other advice from tech support was to buy a usb v-stick and so i did for $50. quality bites and the only headset you can use due to the adapter that plugs into the usb Vonage stick -- is one they provide and the quality bites...

frustrated here.

has anyone ever successfully bridged?

anyway i can improve the dreadful sound from the usb Vonage stick.

thank you!

A simple solution and it is free is Vonage Talk.

You need a computer to use it, works great on a wi-fi or wired network. I have used it in North America, Africa and Europe.

You can call and receive calls with this application.

Here is the link:

There are some other applications on that site also. Just keep in mind that these products are in alpha stage and CS on the phone won't help, but there is a dedicated forum for it which is also part of the link.
