I've also heard that comcast was going after people setting up servers in the non-pro accounts.
How can you set up a server with a Comcast account if your IP address is not static and therefore subject to change without notice?
About NAT, I seriously doubt they're doing anything about it (I know of examples of people using NAT -- which is as I understand what the linksys routers use -- for two years now, with no problems).
I have a Comcast account and a Linksys router, so I guess I'm implicitly using NAT. I've gotten the impression that Comcast is actually pretty tolerant of routers -- I seem to recall conversations with Comcast techies where I mentioned I had one and they seemed not to care.

In todays business section there was an article that Comcast was starting to crack down on the amount of bandwidth people were using, such as threating to subspend or cancel their accounts. Ken
