Try setting up with just the modem and one computer. Also, many of the "modems" sent out by Verizon are actually modem/routers (look on the bottom and see if that is what the label says), and according to Verizon, must be set into "bridge mode" in order to use them with an additional router. I've never managed to get one of them set to "bridge mode" and have just given up and used an old SpeedStream modem with my Linksys router. Also, try zapping p-ram if you are getting a 169 IP address distributed by DHCP. IP addresses that start with 169 are error codes. I don't know how to read them or to find out how, but you might try Googling for it. Knowing it won't help, I don't think, but it will give you something to do for six or eight hours while you try to get through to one of the very few knowledgeable techs at Verizon. I forget the brand of Modem/Router that has always given me fits, but the model number I remember being 6100. HTH
