Yay, I agree that it is. They called my grandma, and told her that they were "upgrading." So, the tech came down, and "upgraded." I had the router all set up on different ports and stuff, (web admin, on 8000) so I could help her when she needed it. They changed it over... Anyway, it was a public static before they "upgraded." but then they jsut locked us in behind there firewall, or what ever they did.
