As far as I know Verizon doesn't care about home networks sans something not
working properly, they want one computer directly hooked up to the modem...
which makes sense.
They do auth against MAC addresses but it is an easy fix. Just call them up
and tell them the MAC address and they will change it for you.
I am not too sure if a power cycle will help, depending on the modem I
suppose. That is probably an easier solution then calling up Tech Support.
But it is always good to have two avenue's to fix a problem!
I have Time Warner road runner and they were happy when I told them I had a
linux firewall... its one less person they have to worry about being
compromised. :)
W00t.

They *actually* do auth against MAC?! Sigh. I assume the modem's been
powercycled? Mine will act up from time to time...
FYI - Last time I checked Verizion's policies, this was technically
against their terms of use for Home users. Of course this was a year or
so ago, but they don't want you to have a network connected to their
line - one computer only.
I know - they can't really enforce that if you want to do it that way,
I'm just letting you know - one of the many reasons why I would never
use them as an ISP...
