It's not there.  Another thing is I tried to ping the computer again from a
different external computer
and got back no response.  The first ping attempt was actually from a
Linksys support person who
said ping worked but I can't verify that personally of course.  I can send
you my IP in email if you're
willing to try that too (what email address?).

The public IP.  If I try http://192.168.1.100:8080/, it works.

Looks like I fall into category 3.  Unfortunately, I don't have another
computer on the network to try your test.  Is there some software
that may help to test this similarly?

Windows XP, Service Pack 1.

The box was not checked.

Also, there's an Internet Connection network connection of type "Internet
Gateway" that shows some services that you can enable
Internet users to access.  For that, http is unselected.

If I select it, and select edit, it has the following fields and values:

Field: "Name or IP address of the computer hosting this service on the
network"
Value: 192.168.1.0
Field: "External port number for this service"
Value: 80
Field: "Internal port number for this service"
Value: 80

I tried playing around with the settings here but I'm not sure what to use.
(none of them worked)

Just to confirm the wiring, I have:

outside cable ---- cable modem --- linksys router --- computer
