DHCP Wars
Here’s a little gem for you: Vonage sends out the Linksys RTP300 analog telephone adapter (ATA) with DHCP enabled by default. That’s handy when it’s the only router you’ve got, but when you plug it into your network and it starts fighting with your other DHCP server, life gets interesting.

Easy fix, there are 2 ways:
1) Enter the admin website (http://192.168.1.1 admin/admin) and disable DHCP
2) Only plug the WAN port of the ATA into your LAN switch. This keeps the DHCP broadcast away from your network. I have used this method for months with no detriment to my Vonage service.
