I just got vontage and i have heard that it has a firewall with it. I didnt install anything but im not shure if the adapter acts like a firewall? But anyways i just dont want this to interfere with my zonealarm firewall because i know that you shouldnt have two firewalls does anyone know anything about this?

You should provide the make/model of the Vonage adapter, as well as exactly how it's connected in your network. A hardware firewall won't affect ZA in any case.

Are you having any problems? I don't see anything about that configuration that should be an issue.

A hardware and software firewall is not an issue, and that happens with anyone that has a broadband router. In other words, millions of people.
