Just to make absolute sure: on your linksys router, are you just forwarding
everything on port 23181 to port 23181? Or are you forwarding from 80 to
23181? If it's the latter, then it won't work because cox blocks all data
coming to port 80. What you want to do is setup apache on port 80 and then
have the linksys router router from 23181 to 80.

If that's what you are already doing.. then I'm not sure. Cox doesn't block
*all* incoming ports, though.
