It isn't up to linksys or your ISP to build your network. Most times, VOIP is quite simply plug and play. But with some many different ISP's and individual home/business network configurations, it "SHOULD" be expected that there may be problems. A POTS line is simply a long piece of wire. It's on an internal network that only does voice. But voip is dependent on your unique network and ISP. No, this isn't your fault. Just that expectations should be different.
FYI. I have THREE computers, and I HAVE setup all of them to my router.

I have never had to port forward in the past, so why in the hell would I need to know that? And guess what, I still do not know, and do not plan on learning. I was told by Voipo that ALL I had to do was, plug it in and play, and if not, between ATT&T and Voipo tech service, we would get it working, and that is exactly what we did, so your assumption that I am stupid does not apply here. You do not know whatis going on in the background, so why assume you do? What irritates me is, you seem to think I OWE you an explanitaion as to why I do not have this knowledge, and in reality, I OWE you nothing!

Many people are WAY better off just minding their own business, and not interfering with something they do not have a clue as to what is really going on, as in, between me and Voipo.
