Posted earlier, but basically Vonage had me change the
MAC address on the faulty VoIP box to the MAC address
of my laptop, which was successfully getting an IP
address from Cox.
Note that the problem had nothing to do with Cox's
blocking of ports; it was a DHCP lease database issue.
Of course, it could happen again, but now I have some
strategies for dealing with it. For example, I could
change the MAC address of my laptop to that of the
faulty VoIP box and do a DHCP release request, as
Christian suggested earlier.
