Sorry to butt in, but I'm confused by the various "outbound" vs. 
"inbound" labels on this topic.

Let's agree on a standard definintion of "inbound" and "outbound", so we 
know what direction(s) we're discussing:

1. Inbound refers to traffic coming FROM comcast TOWARD my machine
2. Outbound refers to traffic going FROM my machine TOWARD comcast.

Does that work for everyone?
