Trying to connect to my home PC from work. I have port forwarding set
up to direct my external address (68.41.XX.XXX) to an internal address
for my Web camera (192.168.0.11). I am using Motorola's SBG 1000
HTPP, my ISP provider is COMCAST, and my port(s) are set to HTPP
(8080). Everything works will within my home LAN, but I cannot even
ping my external address without getting a time-out message. Could
COMCAST be blocking my access, or is it something else that I am
missing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Comcast is probably not blocking any ports affecting your operation. They
likely only block ports used by Sasser/Blaster worms (as my ISP does).
Comcast doesn't even have a blanket block on port 25; only blocking for
customers whose IPs have shown spam abuse.

Do not overlook work; your employer's IT staff has a primary duty to protect
the company network, and you may find it hard to get through their firewall
for anything not employment related.

Do you mean that you can't ping your Comcast public WAN IP address from
work? Comcast residential IP addresses seem to respond to pings, at least
from my end. Did you configure your router to block ICMP packets from the
WAN? For the purpose of this kind of testing, you may wish to enable your
router to respond to ICMP packets; at least temporarily.

Got it working (used wrong Port Forwarding address). Thanks for your help.
