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.
<br><br>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.

More than likely, you can only use one MAC address per connection, so<br>you may need to let the MAC address "expire" (I'm guessing a DHCP<br>lease). If you connect the new device with a new MAC overnight, it<br>
might just work in the morning.<br><br>Another option is to call Verizon and just say "I hooked another device<br>up to my connection and it won't get a DCHP lease." They should know<br>what to do to fix the problem.
