I have whitelisted some domain names for other folks. let's see if that works, and then maybe we can go from there.

Can be true but not always the case. I've had the same IP address for at least a month now (also use major UK ISP 'Virgin Media' which assigns dynamic IPs) & I also power the cable modem down each day. I've not experienced any permanent problem posting to the blog btw, although it does often hang on a blank page after posting & I have to access the page again to check.
You can find what the world sees your IP address as (ie regardless of whether you're behind a NAT router or not), by visiting
Gibson Research's Shields Up! page... it's also a damned good site for information & checking your pc/network security!
