Well I am working behind a router (Clark Connect Linux).  Is there a
port that I need to forward to my PC?  This still doesn't explain why I
can't ping the address though (and I can ping others like yahoo, etc.) 
Trace route says:

And etc.  So port forwarding?  Anything else I should check?  Any ideas
of why I can't ping?
