I'm using this same network configuration - Qwest + MSN. I run a webserver
in my house (for development and testing purposes, also for remote access)
and have no problems, *except* that I had to go to the webpage of my dsl
modem and configure my home router as a dmz host. So, my configuration looks
like:

Modem gets external IP address on dsl side
Modem assigns 192.168.0.1 to it's ethernet port
Modem uses dhcp to assign 192.168.0.2 to my home router

Therefore I have to tell the modem, via http://192.168.0.1/ to treat
192.168.0.2 as a dmz host so that it merely forwards all traffic to it and
let me manage the rules through the router's interface.
