My ISP put a receiver on the roof of my house and from there an RJ45 jack into the house. I have an Intellinet wireless broadband router (model 523431) and Vonage provided me with a D-Link wireless router (MODEL VWR-VC). I am not sure what the proper install for the voip and the vonage support is useless for my situation.
The Intellinet WAN port is plugged into the jack my ISP installed and is set up for DHCP. My laptop (Dell Inspiron 2650) with XP Pro (sp2). The settings are as follows:

I can’t open the Vonage device menu when I type the default http://192.168.15.1 to make any changes to the settings. As well it does not have an IP address. The phone works but has alot of breakup and static. If anyone knows the correct way I should set this up I would be very greatful for the info.
