The command:
    service iptables stop
will turn off the firewall.

You say "static private IP" - like what?
What IP does the router have and what IP does your machine have?

Some ISP's in our area are providing 192.168., 10. and 172.16. type 
addresses to end users for a ceratin inexpensive class of service. Those 
are non routable.
