I am confused as to how you are connecting to the internet.
With DSL there is basically nothing to do once you have the modem setup with your username and password. When the computer boots you just open your browser and start browsing.
Everything needs a DSL Filter, phones, answering machines, faxes, etc..., everything except the DSL Modem/router, itself.
You may share a DSL Filter.
wall > DSL Filter > splitter > multiple devices.
Go to start, control panel, Internet Options, connections and choose NEVER dial a connection. Also click on LAN Settings and check the first box, Automatically detect settings.
Now after you turn on your Dimension, all you have to do is click on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or whatever browser you're using and you should be online automatically. You do NOT have to click on start, connect to, verizon online at all.

Mikey,
Your setup should look like
wall > DSL Modem/router > Wireless router(if any) >wired/wireless
