Hi, >From Adelphia's terms of service:
"You may not operate a server of any type using the Adelphia Broadband Service." Here is the link if you want to check it out: http://www.adelphia.com/esafety/Inter_Acc_Serv_Agmnt_08_27_03.pdf I use adelphia as well, last time I port scanned myself from the outside I got hit on ports 80, 25 etc. Though I do suspect Adelphia of setting up "drone" machines scanning for at least web (80)...maybe others. I get hit twice (within milliseconds) in a row at least every couple of hours to port 80 from addresses in Adelphia's range. The addresses change every about every two weeks, but the rate remains constant. I've tried everything to get a response from them...to no avail. Well, to get to the point, I wouldn't run any servers on their standard ports. Dyndns has something called the port redirect wizard (http://www.dyndns.org/services/mywebhop/) where you run a server on a non-standard port and the client doesn't need to know about it. -- Stephen L.
