   Hello Scott,   
      
   On Wednesday October 20 2021 10:41, you wrote to me:

   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
