Whoops, sorry Jason, you'll end up /w 2 copies of this...

I haven't verified it but it seems to me the only ports blocked are for
smb (can't use smbtool to connect to shares at work).  It would make sense
since without it being blocked systems/shares would show up in network
neighborhood for everyone in the same subnet.  We had some of the same
problems rolling out DSL in the original bridged mode.  I imagine they may
have ports used for Apple sharing blocked as well.   From what a co-worker
who also has mediaone told me you can call thier customer service line and
have them remove it.  But that's all hearsay. :)  I run a web server, mail
server, ssh/telnet, etc. with no problems behind an IPmasqed DEC multia
w/ port forwarding.
