Hi ya'll.....I'm back with another....some questions...I suspected that one of the issues I was having, was due to a firewall, yet I couldnt figure out where. I had disabled one on the mac (dont get hung up on that-they're harmless) and thought ...still think there is one built in the vonage router.In reading on a link on how to get outside the firewall....it led me to an info page about macs and it has a built in firewall besides the one you can turn on and off....so when I had turned it off (ages ago)...the built in one lept into place...so the way around it in a matter of speaking is to turn the firewall on and check the different options....as to what traffic I want to allow...that's the question...I dont know what they are....a bunch of letters that when I google search...comes up with Einstein's theory. I can cut and paste if that would be easier. I can solve this myself (where are the Apple diyers??) but I need a geek....to fill in the logic....
My setup is cable modem plus VOIP (vonage) plus belkin wireless plus Mac OSX (10.4.1)
any and all help/suggestions.....whatever,,,,, is appreciated....if the same problem existed with a windows based pc....you would know this stuff....don't let the word mac throw ya....it's just slightly different is all.
Thanks (in advance)
turns out....i cant cope er i mean copy/paste....but i can let you know the options...
