Can you connect to the router at 192.168.1.1 with your XP laptop? It might help to be able to see some of the config settings in router.
That 169.xxx IP address is a local only address so your Vista desktop is not getting an IP assigned by the router's DHCP server. You could try to assign a static IP address to the desktop machine to see if that helps. To try that:
Local Area Connection Properties > Right click on Interntet Protocol V4 > Properties. (You can uncheck V6 while you're there.)
Fill in:
Use the following IP address
IP address: 192.168.1.10
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
Use the following DNS server addresses:
151.198.1.39
4.2.2.6
Save those settings and see if that lets you connect to the Internet. You can always reset to Optain IP automatically.
Note: The DNS server addresses I listed should work. They may or may not be the fastest in your location but if a static IP connects you to the Internet you can worry about that later.

Changing from DSL to Fios shouldnt have been an issue. Its just a different transmission medium, the connections are the same.
Especially on the wired connection. It should simply be plug and play. The only thing I can think of is that your computer had a static IP set in it that is incompatible with the Fios router.
You said you have vista. So try this
Click on start...go to NETWORK...Click on NETWORK AND SHARING CENTER...then click MANAGE NETWORK CONNECTIONS. You should see your LAN Icon here. Right click on the LAN Icon and select "properties". In the properties window click once on the item that says "internet protocol v4" and then click the "properties" button. Make sure that the "obtain IP address automatically" is selected. If not select it and save. If this was wrong now exit out and try your conneciton again. Also if this was wrong, follow the same instructions for the wireless except select your wireless icon instead of the LAN icon.

Also some users have reported issues when the connection was set to public network. As long as you are not connecting to a public network, try setting it to private if it is not. Note that to the right of the connection there is a link to customize. My connection shows multiple networks because of some things my networks has.

Did the FiOS installer connect to the Internet before he left?
Are you using the standard coax-to-router configuration, and an Actiontec router?
Do you have another PC you can try, maybe a friend's laptop, etc?
What results do you get if you open a command prompt and run ipconfig ?
And if you are running a standard configuration with a Verizon router, can you connect to it at 192.168.1.1 ?

well since you did try a static IP already, and you have other devices that connect OK. I would normally think you had a bad nic also, but you said that you tried wirelessly and it didnt work either. I seriously doubt both your nic and wireless went out at the same time. Sounds more like a setting problem on the computer that we dont see.
Just so you can say you did, try a reset on the router (hold reset button for 10 seconds with it turned on).
Also you may want to try rebuilding the TCP/IP stack on the computer.
Hold the windows key on the keyboard and hit 'R'. That will open the run box.
Type:
netsh int ip reset log.txt
the command prompt should open then close
Then reboot the computer.
See if that gets you online
If not, go to the command prompt and do an IP config release/renew
See what kind of error it gives.
