Can I use my laptop to distribute my broadband to a voip router through the ethernet port?


I have recently added a voip connection to my broadband connection. Here’s the deal. I have a wireless router (neighbors) that i have access to but cant change settings. I can connect my laptop to it using the wireless option. I have a router that connects to the phone. Can I connect the router to the laptop and use the internet connection I am currently using and use same ip? Do I have to create a vpn? Its a motorola vt2142 (vonage router). Is there any way to do this? I require the phone for my work and would appreciate if someone could help me out with this!

This is quoted directly from the Vonage site on using VOIP and ICS.

“We do not recommend ICS for Windows. The lease time is automatically set for only 6 minutes. The Phone Adaptor needs a virtually infinite lease time. Otherwise the Phone Adaptor may reboot in the middle of a call. We recommend that you purchase a DSL/Cable Web-safe router that will provide NAT and DHCP for your network.”

So when the IP is renewed every 8 min. you will loose your connection. If you can live with that use ICS, if you cant, get your own DSL connection. If the phone is required for work then get your work to bellyup the cash for a DSL connection…

To setup a ICS Connection on your laptop you will need to connect the Vonage Router to your ethernet port and give it a IP address of something like 192.168.2.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0

Then open your network connections and right click on the wireless connection and select Bridge, and bridge it to the ethernet port connection.

Then enable ICS and make sure what ever firewall program is open to allow the phone connection.

That should do it, but again the IP address will be renewed every 6 min so you will have dropped calls…..
