Here's the final update on verizon dsl on this end. This past friday I had gotten a cable modem and needed to get a 2-way splitter and co-ax to hook up. Though part of the lexington park server is down that handles email learned that while signing up at the company getting my modem authorized the rest wasn't down. So I connect earlier today and on the first attempt the connect was a success with dhcp. So, either my dsl connection was broken or verizon has themselves a broken server nothing in either equipment connections or configuration was defective here.
