Easily. Many responsible providers started blocking port 80 in response to Code Red and Nimbda since clueless windows users (but then I repeat myself) were running vulnerable web servers, often without knowing the servers were running. When I looked at my apache logs for Code Red/Nimbda attempts, I was amazed at the percentage that were cable or DSL sites in the U.S., given that Code Red was NT/w2k specific and didn't attack the older Windows viruses. I didn't think there were that many NT/w2k systems in this type of installation. If your contract doesn't forbid you to run any kind of server, and you can find somebody with a clue at your ISP, then you should probably be able to get them to unblock your system.
