What is the modem/model/make you use ?
If you have a DSL or NAT router, be sure to check that its web interface is disabled on the "WAN" — wide area network (Internet) — side
Open Port Check Tool
........Many ISPs now block incoming traffic to this port before it reaches their customers. This is done for several reasons: The prevalence of malicious port 80 Trojans renders outside access to this port dangerous. Many Windows users are inadvertently running or have not patched and are not maintaining copies of Microsoft's web servers. As we know, active scanning by self-propagating worms is constantly attempting to locate and infect such servers. Additionally, the terms of service of many ISPs forbids end-users to offer web services to the Internet. Blocking incoming traffic to port 80 can be an enforcement of ISP policies as well as a significant boon to end-user security.
Poorly configured DSL and NAT routers sometimes expose their web-based configuration management interfaces to the Internet. If you are not running a local web server, and our tests show that port 80 is open on your machine, you will certainly want to determine what's going on. If you have a DSL or NAT router, be sure to check that its web interface is disabled on the \"WAN\" — wide area network (Internet) — side
