Yes, I believe they filter standard web ports.  That list may include
8080, since this is a standard web cache/proxy-type port.  Try a more
random-looking port.  You should probably be within your service
agreement if it's for private non-commercial use, but it's a fuzzy line
IMHO.

| ridiculous.  I can understand if I was getting mass amounts of traffic,
| but this is very small.  I sucessfully did this fine from my timewarner
| cable modem when I was back in NC and it worked great.
| So, I guess what I'm wondering is, has anyone seen the same thing, or
| does anyone know of a way around it?  I tried to simply just run apache
| at a different port (8080), but still to no avail.  Thanks in advance.
