Jack,

Telus is my ISP and they block port 80. As a test I recently added  
"Listen 81" to my apache2.conf file and restarted the http service.  
Now when I want to connect to my computer from off-site I use the form  
URL:91 and I get through fine. It looks to me as if you are getting  
blocked. I think ping uses ICMP not http.
