I currently have my own dedicated overpowered server connected to the router that I use (I'm not using SqueezeNetwork). The weird thing is this is happening to my local traffic, even when I'm not sending anything over the DSL line. I would think a switch would isolate that traffic. I manually logged into the voice adapter and it is set in bridge mode with a different static ip.
My initial call to SpeakEasy resulted in them telling me to call Linksys.
