I have a vonage provided Linksys RTP300
By turning off DHCP and setting it to a static IP on it's subnet + get this, looping back it's WAN port to one of it's switch ports+ get this, connecting one of it's switch ports to my linksyswrt54gs's (acting only as an AP with the WAN port isdsabled) switch ports + connecting that to my soekris router which is providing DHCP for everybody + setting the vonage yahoo! widget I have achieved:
1) Good EFFECTIVE QoS via m0n0wall like I wanted...I didn't want to rely on the RTP300
2) RTP300 can now effectively send VoIP traffic out to the net and yet:
a) is still on the same subnet as everything else that neighbors it
b) serves only as a switch 😀
c) is visible by all computer on the network including the one with the vonage widget on it (mine) 😀
Basically, I can see call activity, messages, lower the volume for itunes automatically when recieving a call, have quality QoS, and don't have to worry about silly stuff like NAT and such when plugging things into the RTP300
What the hell are you talking about you crazy bastard? (explanation via visio )
P.S.
Did I mention I can run BT at full blast without it effecting VoIP calls😀
Hopefully I can get a crossover cable tomorrow and put the RTP300 on it's own network with the wired PC plugged into it.
more along these lines (my old setup)
