Let me know your results.
*** UPDATE: Apparently Verizon FiOS believes that I'm not capable of making good decisions with my own computer or the service I'm paying them for, and so, "for my own protection" has erected a firewall that even THEY can't shut off, or so the tech tells me (I get the impression the man is not very good at his job).
I don't recall asking Verizon FiOS to be my mother.

I WILL find a work-around/alternative.
Ouch.
Do they let SSH through on port 22? If so, you could get a free-level AWS account, which lets you run one tiny instance, then tunnel your server ports through from it.

There are several pages and youtube videos on how to port forward or use a DMZ (this puts your machine outside the firewall so remember to turn it back off.)
Lots of gamers on FIOS I cant imagine you cant do this, however A Verizon tech will probably avoid walking you through this as its a time waster for them plus if they break something they are on the hook to fix it.
