The issue is this: From the workstation 192.168.0.3, I can ping 192.168.0.1 - However, from the workstation 192.168.0.2, cannot. I can reach the internet and all other services just fine on all ports, but I cannot ping, nor can I use remote desktop to get to my server from my workstation downstairs. If I plug directly into the switch and bypass the Vonage router, it works fine... Any thoughts?
I am assuming you are trying to use the MS Remote Desktop. If that is the case you need to forward port 3389 to 192.168.0.1. This needs to be done on your rt31p2.

you may want to try plugging a cat 5 cable from the internet port on the RT31P2 to say port one on the RT31P2 and then from say port 2 on the RT31P2 plug into the switch. You may run out of ports though.
Back in the day, the WAN port on hubs/switches/routers was referred to as the "uplink" port. When home networking went mainstream, some companies started calling it an "Internet" port to make it easier for non-techie folks to understand. The only difference between an uplink port and an "internet" port is the text printed above the socket.
Will try the port loopback... I'll get back to you on that. Thanks for the suggestion!

I am old school with the technology as well but have not heard anyone call a wan port on a router an uplink port but hey I haven't heard everything yet but maybe now I have. LOL
Well... It worked! But as you said, now i'm short 1 port for my wireless router.
I can see why this works, because it basically bypasses the router's routing capability alltogether. Is there any way to do this in the configuration without doing the weird loopback?
thanks for the temp fix tho.

unfortunately this router is very limited in what it can do and this seems to be the only solution I have used. Maybe get another little 5 port switch.
