Answer is simple: servers are also verboten, per another section of the SA, so the issue of filtering is moot.
They certainly have not been enforcing the prohibition on home networks that don't cough-up $5 per connection per month, and while I'm not sure that they can PROVE that you are NAT'ing out very easily, if your MAC OUI (is it?) says "LinkSys", well what could that be now? I also have heard of people running servers at a low level, so that they can get at home machines, and even personal e-mail, and haven't had any trouble. I have presumed that, at some point, they would feel they had won the broadband wars, and would start to put the screws on, the way we have gone from "pretty please use our credit card" to "that will be $1.50 to access our machine". Wonder what sort of landlord Comcast will be.

IF you just have an open AP it is the responsibility of the people outside of your infrastructure. Wired or Wireless if you have a splitter and someone hooks up to it without your knowlege, it is not your job to be the Cable police. I wonder if you were to share your Fileserver with a neighbor, would AT&T require your packet filter to make sure the neighbor could only use your server and printer and not email? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Scott Douglass Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 3:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [BAWUG] anyone ever get in trouble with AT&T?
