Moving the Vonage Box?

We changed our phone service to Vonage and so far it been working well with one exception. Since getting Vonage, I can no longer remotely access my computers (Screen Sharing and File Transfer) from the outside. I think it has to do with the router’s location to the Vonage box.

Right now our setup is like this:

Cable Modem --> Vonage box --> Router --> computer 1
                                      --> computer 2
                                      --> computer 3

I think I need to set up this way so the Cable Modem goes directly to the Router like this:

Cable Modem --> Router --> Vonage box
                       --> computer 1
                       --> computer 2
                       --> computer 3

Sounds simple enough, but I think I may have to set up some port forwarding in the router and some other trickery to set it up this way.

I haven’t actually tried to reconfigure the set up, but I’ll try it soon.

Here are some other articles I found and will will read through once I have time:

Cartoon Characters…

There’s been a campaign on Facebook to: “Change your Facebook profile picture to a cartoon from your childhood and invite your friends to do the same. Until Monday (Dec. 6), there should be no human faces on Facebook, but an invasion of memories. A campaign to prevent child abuse, facebook folks!”

I usually don’t like these types of campaigns, but I enjoyed seeing all these cartoons character from the past.

Here are screenshots of a few of my friend’s profile pics:

My niece posted a pic of Pepper Ann as her profile pics. I’ve never heard of this cartoon, but it reminded me of Fido Dido (which she never heard of). I use to have a Fido Dido watch in college. (Hmm, I wonder if I still have it somewhere). Well, I did a search on Wikipedia and discovered that both Pepper Ann and Fido Dido are created (or co-created) by Sue Rose.
