  Hmm, i used to have the same router as you, and i successfully installed and 
configured iis with it. Instead of static ip i used dynamic dns account which 
updated my ip adress. Your router has possibility of ajusting the option for 
automatic ip update from providers such as dyndns.org. After that i think that 
everything could work to test your paypal enabled web site.

    Hi Guys:
    I am running IIS 5.5 on a pc hard wired to a Linksys 54g router and Road 
Runner as my cable IP host.
    I Might want to test  a PayPal enabled website on my local IIS setup.
    Paypal's Instant Payment Notification will send a  message to a pre-defined 
page on my IIS server.
    I read that I should use dns, dcp, do something called url forwarding, set 
linksys to allow port 80 and take the external ip address of linksys into the 
machine, whatever that means, get a static IP address  etc...
    All because of the router firewall and Road Runner assigning a dynamic 
address to the router.
    Has anyone connected IIS to the www from behind a router?
    The alternative is to build, or load, my website on a production IP host 
which I now have and try to debug the Paypal IPN from there somehow.
    If I had any non-gray hairs left on my head  they are all gone in the last 
few days!
