It is possible that your ISP is blocking packets back to your cable-modem, on ports it would consider you would run a server on. I know a certain ISP, one of the first in the world to offer cable-modem access to the public, that did this at one time. :):) Running a server over a 28.8 connection is not going to waste anybodies bandwidth. Running a popular web or ftp server on a machine connected by cable-modem, will "hog" bandwidth that otherwise would have been shared by other cable-modem users in the same "cell". Not nice. :) (At least, this is how it has been explained to me by the networking guys here, so this might just be the way our system works) Can you run any kind of server on your machine, and access it from the net, like web server, ftp server, etc??
