[wplug] Verizon Fios & static IP

[Andrew Fisk]

You can set internal static IP addresses devices connected to an  
ActionTec router with no problem just make sure that the ones you  
configure are outside the range provided by the DHCP service on the  
router.  You can also set it up to assign the same IP address to a  
given MAC address using DHCP.

If it makes you feel any better,  according the the folks that did my  
FIOS install "you can't use Linux to connect to the internet".

If you want a public static IP you do have to get verizon business  
service.

Thanks
