Don't you just plug it into your router and plug your phone into it?

maybe it requires a projection from a certain orifice?

Depends on the hardware. I have a motorola, I can access it via a web interface and make config changes. Basically, all you should need to do is set it to DHCP and let your router assign it an IP

Wow I'm surprised you're still posting...I guess the mods aren't offended by the name?

the router provided by vonage is a linksys rtp300 (has 2 phone plugs too). do i plug this linksys into my normal internet router (a d-link) or directly into my cable modem? i tried plugging it into my modem but couldn't get internet or dial tone...

Pop in the CD and click away...noob

Of course, it doesn't work very well and you'll have to take an educated guess as to when you should stop clicking...but in the end it's all good...

oh btw, my i/p was 192.168.15.1

Your username is not quotable :|

192.168.1.100 for linksys

If you have DHCP running on the network, you should just be able to plug it in and it'll obtain an address. If it's not working from this, you can check it's address by plugging a phone into the unit and pressing: ****

It'll say something like 'Configuration menu' or some crap then to check the IP, press: 110#
Enable/disable DHCP with 101#
See if DHCP is enabled with 100#
Set an IP with 111#
Set netmask with 121#
Set gateway with 131#

Once it has a valid IP either way, just hang the phone up and the box should do it's work and you should have a dialtone or something. Keep in mind it needs about five minutes to fetch it's settings, etc from Vonage.

Other than that, I'd RTFM or call Vonage.

Good luck!
