Ummm...need a little bit of router config help...

[Eric Shubert]

I know of 3 qwest dsl customers who have no blocking on port 80 or 25. I 
  haven't heard of qwest blocking any ports before this post. I know 
that they do have restrictions on using their outbound mail servers 
(mail must come from their email accounts, which is reasonable I suppose).
