Re: your problem below: I think you may be a bit mixed up. "Your" IP address is, in all likelyhood, the cable modem's IP address -- especially if it's going to have to act as a router to your other static addresses. So the thing to do is to set up a box at one of your static addresses with Apache running on it, and try to surf *there*. Odds of it working are very high.
