Sorry but that seems to be a pretty convoluted explanation. Here is how it should go.
Vonage unit connected to phone line(s) and cable modem. Linksys connected to Vonage box. Computers connected to Linksys.
Ethernet has a length limitation of about 300 feet before you need another switch (hub) or a repeater. Does your wire length exceed this?

have you tried a hard reset?
or checked the 192.168,#.# ?
admininstartor
password or blank

I would guess you didn't do it in the correct order.

Are you 100% positive th  Ethernet cables are in the right ports?

Check the one that goes from the modem, to the router.

If that doesn't help, would you let me remotely control your PC and see what it looks like?

Linksys reset
The easiest method of resetting your Linksys router’s password is to reset your router back to the default factory settings. This is done by simply holding down the reset button located on the back of the unit for at least 30 seconds. Once the router has been reset, it must be reconfigured. Using your web browser go to URL address http://192.168.1.1. You will then be prompted to login to your router. A log-in screen asking for the password will automatically appear. At this time enter the default password “admin”, in lower case letters into the password field. The username field may be left blank at this time. (Note: both the default username and default password are set to “admin” on some of the newer Linksys router models).
If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.
Thanks, Joe

Auto run might be turned off. Click My Computer then click what ever driver you have the CD in ( D: E: ect.) Then find the installation or setup icon. Then follow instructions. It will install drivers then walk you through hooking up the router.

make sure the security settings on router is WEP-Personal. I don't know what you have for internet but Dial-up, DSL, and satellite internet will not get NAT 1.

try this...

Make sure you have wireless enabled on your router and on the laptop. For the router, on your desktop open a web browser.Type in 192.168.1.1 in the address bar. The default user name is blankand the password is admin. This will log you into your router. Oncelogged on, click on the wireless tab. Make sure that wireless isenabled and you have an SSID (also known as a Network ID). Also, makesure SSID broadcast is enabled. When this info is verified and set upyou can close the web browser.

Now move to the laptop. Click once on the network icon on the taskbar (the 2 computer monitors by the clock). Select "Connect or disconnect..." When the window comes up, select your wireless connection.

Hi Geraldine
If you have forgotten your wireless password follow these steps from a wired computer
1>Start->Run->CMD->Ipconfig
2>You'll find default gateway
3>Type only the numbers on your browser window or type in eg:: http://192.168.1.1 in the run window
4>You"ll see a router setup page opening up
5>On the left hand side under wireless you"ll see security
6> Click on that you"ll see a 10 digit or 26 digit no if it wep security or a password if it is wpa .
7> that would be your security key for wireless

You can try to hard reset the router and update the firmware. Follow the steps below.

1. Download the latest firmware of the router from Linksys website. Save it on your computer.
2. Hard reset the router. Press the reset button at the back of the router for about 30 seconds, unplug the power for 20 seconds then plug it back in.
3. Connect your PC to port 1 of the router and access the router's setup page http://192.168.1.1 no username and admin for the password
4. Go to Administration tab > Firmware Upgrade sub tab.
5. Click Browse button and browse for the firmware file that you have downloaded from Linksys site. (.bin file extension)

After the upgrade, do a hard reset again. Repeat Step 2. Then you can reconfigure the wireless settings again.
Hope that helps.

If you are connecting wirelessly, what you can do is change the wireless channel of the router by accessing the router's Setup Page. The distance is also 1 factor so you need to stay in a good range. If you are hardwired to the router, you can try to change the MTU of the router through the Setup Page as well. MTU value should be Manual 1492 and save the changes.

I had the same problem when I switched to comcast from sbc you need to power down your modem and either press the reset button or remove the backup battery if it has one for about 30 seconds. power down your router as well. Connect everything back the way you want it and your modem will lock onto your router. You see, once the modem locks on you cannot simply plug it in to another component without restting it to open roam. Hope this helps.

What is it that costs something? When you purchase a Linksys product new it comes with all necessary information.
