Can you get this test page:
http://linux4me.dyndns.org/

I know tampabay.rr does not block 80, p2p, etc.  Though I am not sure of
SSH.

I have ports 21, 80 and 500 forwarding to 192.168.1.101. Port 500 is for
the Netlock VPN client.

I downloaded the latest RH9 kernel and kernel source and installed
that.  I then booted into FC1 with the RH9 kernel and installed the
client with that.  It works like a champ.  There is some issue with the
FC1 kernel that the Netlock client has not been coded to work with.  So
until Netlock does that, I just boot into the RH9 kernel when needed. 
You could also just run the RH9 kernel full-time since I did not notice
any differences over the stock FC1 kernel concerning
functionality/performance.
