I read on the Vonage site that sometimes SPI (enabling the firewall - default) might cause dropouts and such. I have had dropouts and one way audio (person cannot hear me at times). My bandwidth seems great up and downstream, per my other posting. http://groups.google.com/group/comp.dcom.voice-over-ip/browse_thread/thread/76373fa87d6dcd76/f66ee145ce0bf741?lnk=st&q=pattyjamas&rnum=2&hl=en#f66ee145ce0bf741 *****My question is can I disable my SPI (Firewall) on router and still be fairly safe (Windows XP) since I am running a software firewall (Paid version-not Norton or McAfee)???? *****If I disable it via 192.168.1.1 should I leave any of the boxes checked under the firewall setting such as: Firewall Protection : Enable Disable Block Anonymous Internet Requests Filter Multicast Filter Internet NAT Redirection Filter IDENT(Port 113) If I turn on NAT will that screw up my network (newbie question-sorry). Thanks, Patty | ||||||||||

Additional changes were made by them to the PAP2 remotely. Got a good person to help me out of New Jersey. They told me to re-enable the SPI firewall on the Linksys. | ||||||||||
