You could always talk to the manufacturer: http://www.actiontec.com/support/broadband/54mbpswru_faqs.html For their FAQ. This is a NAT firewall so unless Port 80 has been configured "open" by Qwest an ICMP magic packet ("ping") from outside the LAN would fail. Have you tried pinging your IP address from someone else's PC, not part of your LAN?

Actually, I just did grc.com's free port scan and security test, It said that my IP responded to a ping. (and it detected my IP correctly, I checked that)
