after weeks of being unable to make the new settings work - then following what one of the other contributors wrote - I changed the firewall setting on my Verizon provided Modem to LOW - now all is OK
medium and high settings will not allow the new settings to go through
suggest anyone with problems with new settings try same fix
Note: check the model number of your modem and download the user manual from Verizon website for instructions on how to change firewall settings
