[olug] VNC w/Qwest

[Eric Lusk]

Last time I had qwest (a couple of years ago), they did include a "router" in their DSL modem, at least.  I ended up turning off the firewall inside the one I had and getting a "real" router.  At least real for a SOHO setup.

I ran the Harry Potter books through a spell checker; none of those spells should work.

Then quite frankly, a network is misconfigured.
You should always be able to ping a used IP address.

Sounds like an ultraparanoid firewall, most likely on his end.
Does Qwest include "routers" in their modems?
