During this work-around though, it was let slip (by a BigPond support dude) that dynamic customers could apply for a static IP and then they could use what ever ports they want - both inbound and outbound (dialup/DSL/cable - all deliveries covered). I guess with a static IP tracking virused users becomes a hell of a lot easier. The application process wasn't an approval/disapproval process but more "if you ask for one, you'll get one". Maybe your customer can contact BigPong and ask them for a static IP and then everything (should) be back to normal :)
