You posted this already ! Why open a new thread when you didn't respond to the last reply ! I'll just give you a simple response now...
Don't use *any* provided Verizon software. Get a Cable/DSL Router such as the Linksys BEFSR41 and via the WAN port connect it to the Verizon supplied Modem. Then have the PC connect to a LAN port on the Router. Call Verizon on the phone and have them create an account over the phone. If the account uses PPPoE then apply the account to the PPPoE setup on the Router and you'll access the internet no matter what speed your PC is or what NIC you are using on the PC (assuming it works).
No Verizon software is needed and no Verizon supplied software should be used.
