Tan2000,

How's it going?
Any Luck?
How many ports are on your router?

I can't speak for BellSouth in your area, but we have a BellSouth static DSL at work and I have one at home and both permit access to port HTTP port 80. I've only heard of IPS's blocking SMTP port 25 for spamming reasons, the concept of blocking HTTP port 80 on a static IP seems odd (what else would you want to host if not a web server?), but this could be something new.

I also have a recollection of configuring a timeout to zero, no timeout, can't remember if it's for the modem or router though. Don't think this effected initial connections, just broke connection after 20 minutes. Or something like that?

Tom
