Re: OK I've done everything but still Firewalled on Comcast

Thanks, I was referring to the massive amount of connections that can over run your router as stated here in a DD-WRT wiki:

Usually the culprits are heavy P2P software like Emule, Bittorrent, uTorrent, Azureus, Shareaza or something similar. These programs, by default, can require a lot of connections which could cause the routers' ip_conntrack table to get full.

* Especially BitTorrent's DHT feature sends thousands of UDP packets that quickly overflow this table.
I already use connection controls and I use the scheduler to balance traffic usage so most of my torrenting goes on when folks are not using the network for surfing or watching TV shows! I am also exploring limiting connections within utorrent.
