To report a botnet PRIVATELY please email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------- Craig,
While your IP may change, your cable modems MAC address (how most cable networks identify subscribers) does not change. Furthermore, most cable modems I have seen are the location where the traffic is dropped, and not some giant network firewall upstream. They could easily unblock you, however your probablly talking to tier1 tech support, rather than their core network team or security team. For example, I have port 25 unblocked for my home connection. It took a while finding the right people to talk to (in my case it was my ISPs abuse team) but it works great now regardless of my IP.

For example, I know my ISP (rogers, a large cable provider in Canada) is kind enough to block several ports for me. These ports include 25, 113, mssql, etc. Calling up the customer support and requesting they unblock the ports is useless. Furthermore, their service allocates IPs dynamically so blocking (or unblocking) would be difficult to track properly.
