to work around the ISP pport 80 block, change the IIS port setting to use another port, then when others and you want to access the web site, you are required to type the port number as part of the URL, for example:
www.moryk.com:8080
...But I got *majorly* bad news, Verizon's TOS state that running a server is prohibited. :(
Thus, you should get another ISP. :(
