    I am really confused here. Why would a DSL modem be presenting an
    address like that? Why would a modem even have an address? Are
    you referring to the address your provider gives you? Just
    yesterday a coworker told me about his father who had Bellsouth.
    He said that Bellsouth was putting the users on a private subnet
    so it was impossible for the coworker to access his fathers pc with
    pcAnywhere. Is "your name" on such a private subnet? Is it Bellsouth?

    Yes, this is very important. It must be on a different subnet

    No, the default gateway should be 192.168.1.1, the address of the LAN facing
    NIC.

    Is that a funny way of saying you are getting older?
