I just installed windows server on a home pc to pratice for my certs. I am having trouble getting it connected to the internet. I have it set to get ip's automatically but it isnt finding anything???

I am using verison fios wireless internet and when I check network connections it says it connected. But I dont see the flow of packets but it is connected. I think it has something to do with the DNS but I am not sure, I am sure it looking for it but cant find. If the is the problem will verison be able to help me out with the DNS.

I am really in a jam here i need to get this computer up and running soon or my peoples will flip out. Any help would great... or at least some direstion.
