[wplug] fios & IPCOP

[Mike]

Another common thing a lot of DSL providers are doing lately is
incorporating a NAT firewall into the modem.  Verizon included (Cannot speak
for FIOS however).  Any PC you hang off that modem is going to get a private
NATted address.

Plug your PC right into the ONT where the fiber terminates, does your
machine pull a private or public address?  If it's public, IPCOP should be
fine.  If it's a private, contact Verizon and see if they can set the ONT up
in bridge mode.

If it's the MAC address, you should be able to change it in IPCOP..
Where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the MAC address your cloning.  Where eth1 is your
red interface.

ifconfig eth1 down hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
then
ifconfig eth1 up
