The way to get around the COMCAST problem and use their service to be
an ISP is to use ports out of the range of their scanners. Any port
above 100000 should do the trick.

Come on, guys, stop. Please do not talk about China, we are in USA.

I do not care about their contract, yet. All I want right now is to
prove that I can setup a server and people can access it. It seems to
be true because if I take out the router, everything works fine. Now,
my problem is how to run my server behind router? Did anyone find any
trick that is not commonly known?

Please help with my problem.

anything but that now. t1 quoted over $2k/mo out here in the sticks.

Let's try the common sense approach here, shall we? Most people cannot
afford additional charges of $100/month to their telco bill. The math
is quite simple. The telcos know that.

And what kind of service do we get? Is your telco going to fix your
problem on your server? I doubt it. What exactly is different if
someone runs a server? The bandwidth from the customer to the CO is
already crippled by an order of magnitude. Does anything depend on from
where the connection was initiated? What exactly is the justifications
for the COMCAST COX VERIZON Chinese Government style terms of services?
Why do the telcos have a problem to be upfront with their terms of
service? When I contacted Verizon, I was told on the phone that I can
only get the terms of service with my order. Go to the telcos web sites
and see if you find the terms of service on the same page where you
sign up. Do you smell a rat?

The telcos cripple all services because they want to sell them over and
over again. And they want to prohibit people from running servers,
because the telcos are planning to expand their service monopoly in the
future. That is why we cannot run servers on our computers. That is why
they are selling junk.

Some telcos even cripple the firmware of their customers' phones. How
sick is that?

I am looking myself for an ISP which allows me to run my own servers,
including a web server, of course, on my own computer. Out of curiosity
I checked COMCAST's terms of service. COMCAST hides the terms quite
well. Anyway, they offer the same kind of sickening service like COX
and VERIZON do. Have a closer look at section 14.

http://www.comcast.net/terms/use.jsp

Prohibited uses include, but are not limited to, using the Service,
Customer Equipment, or the Comcast Equipment to:
....
run programs, equipment, or servers from the Premises that provide
network content or any other services to anyone outside of your
Premises LAN (Local Area Network), also commonly referred to as public
services or servers. Examples of prohibited services and servers
include, but are not limited to, e-mail, Web hosting, file sharing, and
proxy services and servers;
....

To me, it does not matter whether an ISP limits my Internet access or
the Chinese government. Welcome to the not-so-free Internet in the USA!

I also found the following introduction quite interesting. Loan-sharks
have better terms!
