I don't run a firewall (I just hide behind the NAT my router provides), I've tried going directly from the modem to all of my networked PCs directly, using ethernet and USB, and I've restarted my modem more times than I care to remember... I'm 100% certain it's not my computers or router that's the issue here, it's either the modem or NTL's connection.

Also, most DNS implementations only fall back to TCP when the data payload is >512KiB.

I have no idea why UDP is blocked... it just is. I've tried sending UDP packets to several people who've tried to help me on IRC, and I've run ethereal and tried to capture UDP packets that they've sent me, and none of us recieved any packets. It's just strange.
