They do not specifically block port 80. They will not provide support and if
they find out (by means of a complaint) they will require you to get a
business account.
A friend of mine was running a mail server and forgot to block relaying and
got busted by RR and they required him to get the upgraded account.
I am having a similiar problem except I can get some traffic through and
some cannot get through. Certain people can get on anytime they want and
certain people cannot ever get on. At the same time.
At first I thought it was Earthlink DSL but they do not block port 80. They
do not prohibit running a website but do not support it in any fashion
except for the original hookup.
I setup a laptop and tested it from home. The certain people could not get
on. I took the laptop over to a friends house with RR and it worked like a
charm.
Still can't figure out what is the problem at home.

Mike,
In looking at RR terms, I found this: "You are prohibited from excessive
consumption of resources, including CPU time, memory, disk space and session
time. You may not use resource-intensive programs, which negatively impact
other customers or the performance of Road Runner systems or networks. Road
Runner reserves the right to terminate or limit such activities."
They don't specifically say they block port 80, but..
The commercial accounts that they talk about not allowing are on the user's
personal page that is on their servers.

I just contacted RoadRunner and they said, no they don't block port 80,
but residential accounts don't permit web servers. So, don't know if I'm
getting the straight answer or not. Can't tell if I should beleive them or
not.
