Adelphia is doing that too. I setup my firewall to have port 81 go to my
computer's port 80. What's the point of the internet if folks can't host
their own websites???

Adelphia doesn't condone NAT either. They won't help with problems if
one is running a NAT'd system....but they don't know how to help with
Linux anyway, so I don't see the problem. I don't see how Comcast could
"go after" someone. The worst that could probably happen is they tell
you to stop it.
