Re: Which hotels/other places can you plug a TA in
Hi Rizzo2dial, man you are a genius!!!! Thanks a lot for your help!!! I copy the MAC Address of my PCI card to a paper and turn it of... Than connect my Zyxel and enter on configuration and I found the option to clone the MAC Address, so I put the number of my PCI card and it works wonderful!!! I`m using the connection right now from the Zyxel!!
Thanks a lot for this help!! Now I can test between the PCI card, this Zyxel router or another without have to ask the buddies every time to update my MAC Address (which is annoying), Your help was really very useful!!!
Thanks a lot again |

Great topic, and unfortunately a bit of networking ignorance on my part, too. A follow-on question. How would you get everything to work with a USB 2.0 to ethernet connection? So it would be the connection from the hotel wired or wireless (it should not matter, right?) to the computer, then the computer, out the USB port which switches to an ethernet port that goes into your ATA. What would need to be done to get the ATA to work for you? Or is that not a viable design. |

| Turn on ICS on the wired/wireless adapter on the computer. If the addition of the USB 2.0 to ethernet interface adds a 3rd network adapter to your computer, when you enable ICS on the wired/wireless adapter, you'll have an additional option to specify "Home networking connection." That'll be a drop-down list specifying on which adapter you want the ICS to be applied to. Simply specify the USB 2.0 to ethernet interface and then connect your ATA to that interface.
If the addition of the USB 2.0 to ethernet interface only makes it the 2nd network adapter on your computer, turning on ICS on the wired/wireless interface should be sufficient.

Re: Which hotels/other places can you plug a TA into?
My laptop has wireless built in plus an ethernet port. I have not been able to connect wirelessly and then use the ethernet port for plugging my telephone adapter into it. Anyone had any success? |

Re: Which hotels/other places can you plug a TA in
I have the LInksys travel router and it works as a bridge using factory software, but like everyone else, I use it outside the US for VOIP and it works great. It will also rebroadcast its own wifi signal which is nice.
I travel a little for work. My wife is a road warrior's road warrior. She is on the road 45 weeks a year. We've talked about the issue.
In the hotels she stays at, 90% of the business hotels you stay in have high speed. In the US, it is probably 100%, but Europe and the Middle East have some catching up . Our collective experience is that 75% wifi, 15% are wired. 10% have both usually consisting of wireless in the public area, and wired in the rooms. The more expensive the hotel, the more likely it is to charge for high speed internet. 70% of the business hotels outside fo the US or Canda seem to charge for high speed internet. (Canadian internet patterns match the US). |

Many Hotels block VOIP ports....
Many hotels block VOIP ports. My friend discovered this when he began bringing his Vonage ATA out with him. In many hotels it simply wouldn't work. I have an (unlocked) Linksys PAP-2 with v 3.15 firmware with me, configured for FWD. At my friend's data center it works fine but it won't work at all here in my hotel room (I have a Netgear WGR-614 router with me).
The computer works fine plugged into the LAN ports of the router. |

Re: Which hotels/other places can you plug a TA in
Of the hotels with wired ethernet connections, I find that often these are converted to 1Mbps types of connections which use the legacy phone wires. SMC makes a box that does this. |
