could it be that the ISP VPN is interfering with the phone adapter? I need to dial up each time the computer goes on, name and password too.

That certainly could be it. You should talk to your ISP about how to set up the router. If you have DSL, you may need to set up PPPoE, for example.

I had the same problem - here is my setup:

Internet --> DSL modem --> RTP 300 Vonage adapter --> Phone
--> Computer

I'm not going through the Vonage adapter for my internet connection because my computer does not have an ethernet port.

There was no dial tone and the phone LED light did not light up. I tried power recycling several times. It seemed like the Vonage adapter was not able to obtain an IP address. I tried enabling PPPOE, and also tried "obtain ip automatically". Neither option worked. I finally provided my internet provider's static ip and voila! It worked. So there is hope Smile
