Please log in for more thread options X-No-Archive: Yes Comcast is now blocking ALL incoming traffic into your PC, so anything even thinking of running a server of any kind had better forget it. If you were running any kind of online radio station, as I was, a good alternative that works, and starting at a reasonable price is Live 365, at http://www.live365.com. If you are a Comcast subscriber attempting to run your own streaming audio and want an alternative, Live365 is the way to go. Packages that include the ability to do live streaming from your computer start at $20 monthly. I have been trying to start my own online talk show and discovered that Comcast is now blocking all incoming traffic to customer computers. I did that by connecting back to my setup by using an open proxy server, and disovered that all incoming traffic is now blocked. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Well, here in Sacramento, it is 100 percent blocked. I tested that by attempting to connect back in to the server I had, by using an open relay in Latvia. The connection did not work, but when I changed the connection settings to go without the proxy, the connection worked. It is 100 percent blocked, here in Sacramento. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Maybe they're being blocked at Comcast's main connection(s) to the Internet and not within the Comcast cloud itself? In that case, the probes would be coming from other Comcast connection machines??

Checks of originating IP addresses shows them to come from all over the world: US, China, Bulgaria, France, etc. -- Tom Stiller PGP fingerprint = 5108 DDB2 9761 EDE5 E7E3 7BDA 71ED 6496 99C0 C7CF | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
