True, but shutting down the interface determines if its coming from you or
from the outside coming in. I did notice that unplugging the PC from the
modem doesn't help in checking this as the data light goes completely off
if it doesn't see a PC connected to it.

Very possible. I'm not completely sure what Time/Warners range is,
though they seem to think these were all Time/Warner IPs.
AOL/Time probably does own Sprint. In fact, all companies are all owned by
one giant conglomerate known as "Beatrice". At least thats what the
commercial implies...
