You cannot make your connection work with DHCP just by changing your router's settings. Also, upgrading your router's firmware will not help. Verizon would need to update equipment on its end to allow DHCP.
The Actiontec MI424WR router supplied by Verizon will automatically detect whether the gateway is using PPPoE or DHCP and will select to correct protocol to make the connection.

You can bypass the queue at FSS and call Enhanced Products directly, which is the department that handles PTR records. Their number is 866-782-5965.
Note that only FiOS Business connections with Static IP addresses can request a reverse DNS PTR pointer set up. These are mainly used for e-mail servers.

That policy started to change in 2009. Some subscribers reported the port was quietly opened. It appears the change was rolled out as part of network upgrades, so it did not occur all at once.
There has been no official announcement yet from Verizon, so you may or may not have a blocked inbound port 80. At this point, use it if you've got it. If you have to ask for it, Verizon may not give you the answer you're looking for. Yet.

However, although port 25 is not "blocked", Verizon's dynamic IP addresses are listed in the Spamhaus Policy Block List (PBL). The PBL is/can be used by mail exchange servers (MX's) to reject connections from these addresses. Thus, for the purpose of running a mail exchange server port 25 is effectively blocked. However, a mail server can be run that utilizes Verizon's authenticated SMTP just like your mail client would do.
As always, YMMV. It has been reported that sometimes a port which should be blocked by standard Verizon policy has instead been left open. In the past port 25 was blocked. Which ports are blocked may change in the future.
Thanks to N O Y B for recent scan of ports 1 to 1030 to verify current status.

last modified: 2009-01-23 15:01:21 | | | There are two ways an ISP can allocate or assign an IP address to you for use on the internet: static or dynamic.
Static IP Address
A static IP address is assigned to your computer by your ISP and is permanent. Each time you connect to the internet, the same address is used. This address is never used by any other computer or device.
Dynamic IP Address
It would be simple if every computer that connects to the Internet could have its own static IP address, but when the Internet was first conceived, the architects did not foresee the need for an unlimited number of IP addresses. Consequently, there are not enough IP addresses to go around. To get around that problem, many Internet service providers economize on the IP addresses they possess by temporarily assigning an IP address to each computer from a pool of IP addresses. The temporary IP address is called a Dynamic IP address. As a result, the IP address may be different each time the computer connects to the Internet.

The D-Link routers are no longer supplied. This FAQ is specific to D-Link models provided by Verizon and is retained in its original form.
Currently, your IP address may change if you 1) release then renew your WAN IP, 2) reboot your primary router, 3) lose power through DHCP lease expiration, or 4) request FSC to release your IP. Note, you may also do all the above and get the same IP address you had.
Y
our IP address shouldn't change very often. If you suspect your address is changing too often (more than once a day) you may want to verify that your D-Link router is running the most recent Verizon firmware.
To check the firmware version of your Verizon provided D-Link router, open your web browser and connect to this address [192.168.0.1].
It should ask for a username and password. If you have not changed these since installation, enter a username of "admin" (without quotes) and leave the password field blank.
Click on the "Tools" tab, and then click on the "Firmware" button to the left. You should see the current version of firmware on your router.
•For Verizon D-Link DI-604 routers, this should be version 1.07 or better.
•For Verizon D-Link DI-624 "wireless" routers, this should be version 2.43 or better.
If your version is older, you can download an updated version of the firmware from this Verizon page [click here].
Warning: Upgrading the firmware on the router runs the risk of rendering the router inoperable! If you don't feel comfortable doing this procedure, contact Verizon and ask FiOS support for assistance! This firmware is for Verizon provided D-Link routers; do not attempt to install this firmware on a retail D-Link router.
Instructions for installing the firmware are available from the link below. Do not download the firmware from D-Link, use the firmware from the Verizon site above!
»support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?p···re%20624
After installing the firmware, test to see if your IP address changes less frequently. If it continues to change, you may have another problem. Contact FiOS support for additional troubleshooting. If you have a FiOS package (Verizon phone, LD and internet) you are most likely an "Encore" customer, and entitled to Encore support. They are much more knowledgeable that Verizon first line support. Ask for Encore support if you can.
