Are you SURe its cable america?  I have cable america and I have nothing
blocked on my cable modem.

By default cable america gives you local only addressing via DHCP from the
cable modem.  If you do not hve a static ip then you cannot setup any
services for people to connect in whether it be ftp or otherwise.
