RE: [PLUG] Comcast Crackdown
|
That sucks, but not unexpected. :( It would explain why I couldn't ssh into
my box this morning from work--I just assumed they were changing my IP and
it hadn't updated on dyndns.org yet.
Maybe they're just blocking incoming ports < 1024, so I could run ssh on a
non-standard port. Won't help with incoming email servers and standard-port
web access, though. :(
Comcast's switchover letter mentioned a Comcast.net Professional service but
I've yet to find any hard details on this service.

FYI: My cable modem connection is no longer allowing remote access
capabilities.
No HTTP,HTTPS,SSH or email server. I complained and asked if there was an
upgrade service which would allow me to have these services - neither got
any
results. Considering DSL is in the $160/month range - cable modem is still
the
cheapest alternative for high speed download combined with a dial-up for
other
remote services. yikes!
anyway- maybe if enough people complain, they will change the policy.
