Wow you guys are awesome...but no fix yet. The idea that it is using my router as a passthrough makes total sense...but I only know how to connect to my ISP (Bell Sympatico HSE) using PPPoE. The instructions I have are:
If you can't get there, then you might have to mess with some network settings until it works. It should be pretty much automatic, but make sure your ethernet card is using TCP/IP, and that it's set to get an IP using DHCP.
Once you can get to the config page, then set your connection type to PPPoE and put in your login info. The router should be able to make the PPPoE connection on its own.
At this point, the internet access should be working from the computer, and hopefully the Vonage service is up also.
Paul248-- YOU RULE! Indeed this was the problem. I did what you suggested-- changed my connection settings to manual and told my machine what the machine IP address was and router was (192.168.15.100 and 1 respectively). I rebooted and was then able to access my router, which I configured for PPPoE. Then I reset my connection settings back to PPPoE...and now I have both phone and internet working!
I hope that Vonage is paying you...I spent hours on the phone with tech support, and none of them could help. Anyways, thanks again.
