I have a machine at home to do development work on and now I can't connect via web or ftp to it from the outside world.

Also, I can't even connect to my main PC via remote desktop from the outside world.

Apparently my ISP just decided entirely on their own that they'd just block those ports and more.

I hate that... I'm sure they figure they're doing some good by doing that, but I'd at least like to know about it, or have the option to be "protected" in this way.
