I hadn't thought about portmapper, could be.

I can only assume not, I sent a note my provider and was assured they weren't
blocking the port:

               ... We do not filter any tcp/ip traffic except when the
  person purchases the adult filtering. I can get to ftp, icmp and telnet
  ports on your machine, but I cannot get to port 80. There are no configs
  in the terminal server nor the router to disable port 80. 


Which, if true, leaves me more than simply puzzled.
