Mine seems to be working fine. I'm in Tampa Bay. I deny 80, but I can
see the accounting counter increment as I try to connect remotely. In
fact, since I reset the counters on Jan 25, I've had 359 connection
attempts.

I guess there's the possiblilty that running a webserver as a
residential customer has raised an eyebrow over there. Did the tech
support guy say it was network-wide blocking?
