right right I just figured you could release it from the laptop, then plug in the vonage thingie and get it going. Glad you got it to work. My dad has vonage and i find that it is generally OK but from time to time his speech stutters like its dropping packets. YMMV. Personally I have just about given up on land lines altogether. I have an Eatel line ($20/mo) for local calls and so that I can give out that number to people I never want to speak to. Last time I checked the machine I had 50 msgs :P What im saying with the wireless hub thing is that for a very low cost you can solve all the silly cox MAC problems plus give yourself a WAP. Just a suggestion. Since I connect things sort of randomly at the house, I find that not having to futz with cox is a boon. Im sure if you had to call thier tech support you know how fun they are. Of course, an linux router and switch/hub would do the same if you have that lying about. Just a thought.

My laptop was not having the problem; the lease not being released by Cox was the one associated with the VoIP box. > Ipconfig /release all > > If not woundt a $20 wireless B hub/switch solve this > for you? It wasn't really a big deal to fix. I would been a little miffed if I had to spend $20 to get Vonage working with Cox, as Vonage supports Cox. John __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

It's a real pain in the neck for their customers who get new computers or network card. I'm not sure what they think they are gaining.
