Upon closer inspection, it looks like I misread the -04.  We have the
same modem.  I still can't figure out why port 80 is dead though.
http://www.keyslapper.org/ has been unavailable for almost 6 months,
except from inside my LAN.

Hmm.  I'm thoroughly confused about this.  I've really been wanting to
get my webserver back up, but I've no idea how to find out where the
problem lies.  Even if I open the firewall, port 80 is still
unavailable.  The firewall hasn't changed much since I moved, anyway.
