I have a webserver running (and I'd switch to the RR Business plan had I more than ~5 visitors a month) and have to remotely administer my parents' PCs while away at college. So this is a pain in the neck. I have the feeling that RR has blocked all incoming ports to my network. You think this is possible? My outside access to the network just stopped working from one day to the next without any intervention from the inside.

I cancelled my Verizon account after numerous technical, and service, issues
My most important issue being the fact that they do not allow servers with
their residential DSL service.

I now have service through Speakeasy, www.speakeasy.net. I'm in the
process of eliminating my land line altogether, and just having the DSL
service. Speakeasy gives static IP's, allows servers, and runs an RPM
find server.
