This question is for anyone that has Optimum Online on the Island...

Have you had any success running a Web Server on Port 80 in the past 2 - 3 months? I have a sneaking suspicion that Cablevision is blocking Port 80 inbound, which is really p!ssing me off :( I've moved my web server to 8080 in the meantime and all is well, but it is annoying me that I cannot connect to it through port 80 from the outside world.

Cablevision's Customer Service won't even respond to my emails, so I'm hoping I can get some answers from the Anandtech crowd :)

I think they do that cause they don't want webservers running on the network. I've had OptiOnline for three years and my friend tried to do that. They busted him and canceled his service.
