But incoming is still a        MV>> problem. Can you expand a bit on what attempts you have made to        MV>> achieve incoming and why you think it didn't work?               SS> Ah, two reasons.        SS> a) I'm not in direct control of the router, my roommate is the        SS> "customer" on the account and he is non-techincal. Thus I have to        SS> walk him through the changes on the Xfinity app to allow pin-holes in        SS> the default firewall/router.              That sucks. Can't you pesuade him to hand over control of the router to you?       In exchange for you doing the maintenance on the LAN? A sysop not having       control, that really sucks.               SS> b) After much of the "walking through", Xfinity/Comcast would 'clean'        SS> the firewall rules of the required settings; both for IPv4 and IPv6.              Very odd. A normal reboot would not do that, only a factoy reset. ISPs can       initiate both, and a reboot is not all that strange, but a factory reset would       not normally be done by an ISP.               SS> Neither of these are probably Comcast's issues; more likely my        SS> /non-techincal/ roommate.              Possibly...               SS> For a real solution, I am awaiting for permanent employment before I        SS> just into getting my very own connection.              If you can not persuade your roommate to hand over control, getting your own       connection will certainly be the better solution...                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 19/10 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 203/0 221/0 6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/702 229/424 426 428 550 664 700 240/5138 5411 5824 5832       SEEN-BY: 240/5853 249/206 317 400 250/1 280/464 5003 5006 5555 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 460/58 633/280       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 712/848 2452/250 2454/119 5019/40 5020/545 1042       SEEN-BY: 5020/12000 5053/58       PATH: 280/5555 240/5832 229/426           |
