I've ran my own server for my website for a while now. I haven't had much trouble after setting it up, but now noone can see the webpages. I checkd the code, wiring, and port redirecting. It is all okay and I read something that Comcast blocks portn 80 connections. Do you have any information on this topic?

If it did, you'd have a hard time surfing the web since all the HTTP traffic comes through that way.

If I were to guess, I'd say your router has a misdirected port.

Try setting up a DMZ up for the internal IP (the one assigned by your router) of your server. What happens then?

I'd guess that Comcast is blocking inbound port 80 requests. My own ISP, Time/Warner, does that. They didn't at first, and a lot of users ran a web server just like you're doing. After a few months T/W realized what was happening and blocked port 80 inbound and changed their TOS to forbid servers from their home customers.
