Yes, unregistered modems can still ping out. 62.253.162.30 is the ntlworld website (www.ntlworld.com) - this is not accessible via a pre-registration modem. The only site that is accessible via HTTP/HTTPS is autoreg.autoregister.net (80.5.178.26).

I wouldn't advise that you give out your friend's full IP address on a public forum. The one you've given above (66.x.x.x) isn't an ntl address - it belongs to Google, Inc. Just the first and last octets (e.g., 80.x.x.26) allows us to determine whether you've got a full ntl IP, pre-reg, or other.
