You could try removing the static IP address from the router, and 
recycling its power. Then look at the router's admin pages to see if the 
  router reports an external gateway address, the IP of the gateway that 
the router talks to ( the "WAN IP").

I presume that since this is on a telephone line (Qwest right?). From 
its end, Qwest 'knows' the line address (the telephone line) and 'knows'
the MAC of the DSL bridge. At its end, it does not need to give out a 
gateway address as the connection is hardwired from the telephone line. 
Weird. very weird, but possible I think
