I'd call their customer support people for help. If they provided you with a
modem there should be information with it. I don't know about Verizon
particulars. These truly are questions that you should be asking them.

It should be pretty simple. Generally now, the supplied modem handles
address translations automatically and as long as you set your computer up
to use DHCP, it should just work.

I say again, it SHOULD just work. Your mileage may vary.
