I can confirm that more than just Comcast does this. I
think it's part of the script for tech support robots
to tell you that you are breaking the rules by using
NAT. It's too funny that there are a million companies
selling these "routers" that help you to do just that.


Bottom line is, most "broadband" companies have no
clue how to really run their networks. Anybody that
does anything other than surfing are considered a
threat. I'd be 100% agreeable to a contract based on
bandwith, which is where the cost really lies, as long
as I could have all my ports open and a static IP
address. But they haven't figured that one out yet.
How hard could it be?
