A half hour call with a Vonage "support engineer" was a complete waste of time. I have a new Vonage adaptor and want to connect it to my desktop client via a 16 port Ethernet switch (D-Link DES-1016D) which is gender sensing (i.e., doesn't need a crossover cable to connect from the Vonage LAN port to the switch). If I connect the Vonage adaptor directly to the desktop PC, fine - but that removes the desktop PC from the LAN. So, I connected a Cat5 cable from the LAN port of the Vonage adaptor to the switch (by the way, tried both a straight and a crossover just to be sure). No connection between the Vonage adaptor and the PC, and moments later, the 'phone' LED drops on the Vonage adaptor.
So I have to remove the Cat5 cable, reboot the Vonage adaptor and do without the computer linlk. Since the Vonage adaptor arrived with a different internal address (192.168.15.1), I forced it to match my internal LAN address scheme and gave it a 192.168.10.X address. It does not make any difference to the connection with the PC though.
Does anyone have a suggestion? - I have zero faith in the "experts" at Vonage.

The IPs still don't match. It needs to be on the same subnet. Both of them should have the same first three octets either 192.168.15.x or 192.168.10.x
