Worldpath DSL

[Lawrence Tilly]

First off, Happy New Year, all!

A couple months ago I switched to Worldpath DSL from Metrocast cable
and have generally been VERY happy ( faster up and down and none of
the anoying drop-outs Metrocast gave me ). The also give me the option
of picking up five static IPs for just a few $ extra per month. Since
my free trial of 1and1 service will be ending shortly, I wanted to
take advantage of the statics to move my web site home.  It's VERY
light use ( a few hits / day...mostly my own use for testing things
out ) and paying any place to host it is overkill...but I really don't
want to give up any of the three domains I have registered for it.

I have been able to confirm that Worldpath is not blocking incomming
port 80. Unfortunately, my DSL modem is.  When I try to connect to my
IP:80 I get the login prompt for administering the modem.  It's a
rental, so I searched online and found a copy of the owner's manual. I
was actually a little surprised to see that Worldpath changed the
default admin PW, but they did not change the "guest" PW.  So I was
able to get on as guest and poke around, but I can't seem to find
anything in the setup ( or manual ) that would indicate how to set up
port 80 to pass thru ( or perhaps change the default admin port to
something else ).  The modem is a Pardyne 6211.

Is anyone out there already running a web site ( and possibly the mail
service as well ) behind a Paradyne DSL modem and/or on Worldpath DSL?
 I would even consider purchasing my own DSL modem ( since I have to
pay to "rent" this one anyway ) if necessary, but I wanted to check
for options first.
