I forwarded my port in the router (per silverbear) and my download speed
instantly doubled or better!
But, following the rest of your instructions, I get:
bigbird at sananda:~/pq$ sudo nmap 72.75.240.48
Starting Nmap 4.53 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2009-02-10 00:41 EST
All 1714 scanned ports on pool-72-75-240-48.bflony.east.verizon.net
(72.75.240.48) are closed
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 3.715 seconds
bigbird at sananda:~/pq$
And, just for the heck of it:
bigbird at sananda:~/pq$ sudo nmap 192.168.1.46
Starting Nmap 4.53 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2009-02-10 00:45 EST
All 1714 scanned ports on 192.168.1.46 are closed
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 6.942 seconds
bigbird at sananda:~/pq
So I'm not sure what I did or why it seems to have worked.
Can you make sense of this for me?
TIA
