Verizon DSL modem – no DHCP?
If I connect my PC or laptop directly to the Verizon DSL modem, it says ‘limited connectivity’ on the LAN connection. So, I set up a new connection to use PPPoE, enter my username and a password (will accept anything for a password), and it connects to the Internet just fine. An ipconfig command shows the PC’s IP and the gateway IP as the same address, an external 74.x.x.x address. Why is the modem not giving out an internal 192.x.x.x address? I don’t want to have to ‘connect’ every time I want to get online.

ROFL! I just spent half my day fighting with the d**m Verizon automated help line. I tried in vein to reach an actual person! Got hung up on by the automation once, then transferred to the Verizon Wireless line where the computer started asking me if I had problems with my cell phone connection! 24/7 support?? Tell me, which 24 minutes of 7 days are talking about?

I’m a Verizon fiber tech, and although we perfer that you use our router, it is your perogative. Any router setup for DHCP will work but before you disconnect the Verizon router, you must release the Verizon’s router’s IP address because Verizon’s servers bond to the router’s mac address. This is done by going into the router’s utility menu, which can be complex for someone not familiar with routers, but not to worry, Verizon’s 24/7 support is there to help.

I use my own wireless d-link router for my FIOS. It works well. I just by-passed the DI-624 they put in.

Hey Dude,
You are right about the common practice of blocking port 25. (I relay off of Comcast’s SMTP address). However, the blocking of ports sucks when you own things like SlingBox and webcams at home to watch your kids. That much is not common practice. (and port 80 is not blocked by Comcast)
The most shocking part, and there is no excuse for this, is FIOS pretty much requiring you to use THEIR router and not a 3rd party’s. It is just another case of Verizon trying to back you up against a wall. It sucks too because I hate Comcast’s virtual monopoly on the cable and internet around here.
Dirt cheap service given to people for F’n high prices.
