Keith,
    You might check if Comcast has other sub ISPs that allow servers.  
TimeWarner used to only have RoadRunner which disallows servers.  Now 
they also have AOL, Stic.net, and Earthlink.  Stic.net and Earthlink 
allow non-commercial servers on residential accounts and do not block 
ports.  I use Earthlink now for this reason.

Thanks,

Dale
