Once you reset you router to default settings, it will be using dynamic IPs since by default, DHCP will be enabled. If you have an IP phone, then you can immediately get access to the internet and use VOIP services, as your phone provider said. With regards to your PC, you can directly connect it through ethernet cable as usual. If your PC is set to have a dynamic IP, then it is just plug and play. However, if you were using static IPs, then you have to reconfigure your PC to enable DHCP. For Windows XP:
1. Click Start => Settings => Network Connections
2. Under LAN or High-Speed Internet Group, right-click on your LAN (usually named as "Local Area Connection #")
3. Click on Properties
4. Under the General Tab, scroll down to the bottom and locate the item Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Click on it and then click Properties.
5. In the window that pops up, under the general tab, make sure that you ticked (selected) "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS Server address automatically.
Try your luck. I hope that helps. For Vista, just locate network and follow similar procedures.
dont understand do you mean plug-unplug ethernet cable
