Karsten,
Good suggestion - however, I cannot find any reference to that in my Linksys, or Norton Internet security search. I'm all ears! Please enlighten us about this --

Yea...this would be good. My numbers with Vonage look bad. If I test elsewhere they look par or like they should.

It's different for every machine. Some less advanced may not even offer it.

The best I can suggest is to check with the manufacturer to see if it's offered on your equipment.

After I got my Vonage working I put my firewall box back in place (it's doing the load balancing) and the phone no longer takes all my bandwidth - whew Smile

Excellent sound quality, although I am 2 continents away using Vonage Canada service which keeps me intouch with my family

Here are my speed test stats... I'll link the thumbnails and you can click on them to see the larger version to limit slow loads...

First try Razz

Second Try: Confused

If you check out the other images in that gallery you'll see that checkyourvoip gave it some pretty decent results...

Oh, and if you're curious as to the network layout then click on this:
