I'm not sure. I was going to give Cox Communications (my ISP) a call, but I decided I'd check with your folks on here first. I will check with my ISP tomorrow.

I don't have a landline, so that's not an option.

Will do! Isn't it required for the firewall to be disabled, though, in order to connect from the outside?
Thanks for the questions pointing me in the proper direction. Hopefully I'll get this thing sorted out soon. I appreciate the reponse.
