A port scan won't really tell me anything unless you've forwarded the ports at your router, poked a hole in your host's firewall, and have an application listening to those ports on your host computer.

I'll gladly run a port scan on your IP if you've done these things. PM me your IP if you want.

I don't want to come off sounding like a jerk here, but there has been no mention of Verizon blocking all inbound ports on FIOS, so I have a hard time believing this is the case. This would have been major news and A LOT of people would be jumping all over Verizon right now if they did in fact implement such a draconian policy.

Daseal has FIOS in Centreville, so I'll probably get with him sometime to test this out.
