call verizon if you are being asked for the PPoE password, they wont give it to you, but they will reset your password so youll be good to go.

UTVols 2, when you get your router, type in the url bar 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1 and then when it ask for the routers password type in "admin" then there is an area that says PPoE, it will ask you for a username/password. Use your verizon username and pass, then save settings, close browser, reopen browser, and you should be ready to go. There are a few things you can tweak as well if that doesnt get it going but that should do it. From there, you just select what you want to make available on your network so files/folders/periphrials can be seen on the other computer.

yeah I have the same problem...how much is a router gonna cost me?

also I am getting ready to move down south some, any chance verizon will send me a new setup kit for free, since i'm keeping the same service and will be getting billed on the same address.

Thanks Mega

Dane, you could probably get a free one from them. If not, I think I paid about 50 dollars for a linksys router off of ebay.

Like mega said, open a browser window, go to the address 192.168.1.1 and you should be able to access the config & status page for your device.

If it prompts for a username/password, admin/admin should work unless you have changed it.
