for years I had Comcast with Arris modem that I used in bridge mode with a Netgear R6300 router
everything worked great no problems
however recently switched over to CenturyLink optic fiber network and using their CenturyLink Modem ZyXelC2100z
I could not get the bridge modem to work with the Netgear router, so removed the router and just using the new modem (it is AC, so no biggie)
This setup has the optic fiber going to an ONT box which converts the optics to digital and connects to the modem
all of my networking works fine, except for one thing
if I go to 'what is my IP' and it gives me xxx.xx.xxx.xxx address
when I goto command prompt and try to C:>ping xxx.xx.xxx.xxx
I get 'request timed out' error
I can ping other ips, name servers no problem, just not my internet ip address
I have an Xampp server set up (that I want to reach remotely), I can connect using localhost, internal ip, but unable to access it from a remote site
I have tried to hunt the problem down, but am drawing a blank
any suggestions appreciated
