Hello Michiel!

Ah, two reasons.
a)  I'm not in direct control of the router, my roommate is the "customer" on
the account and he is non-techincal.  Thus I have to walk him through the
changes on the Xfinity app to allow pin-holes in the default firewall/router.
b)  After much of the "walking through", Xfinity/Comcast would 'clean' the
firewall rules of the required settings; both for IPv4 and IPv6.

Neither of these are probably Comcast's issues; more likely my /non-techincal/
roommate.  For a real solution, I am awaiting for permanent employment before
I just into getting my very own connection.

I was able to get the IPv4 connection with upnpc, which I run in a cron job
several times a day.
command::
upnpc -e "BINKP Incoming Mail" -a `upnpc -l | grep "Local LAN ip" | cut -d:
-f2` 24554 24554 tcp

The bits after -a;  `...` get the Linux machines IPv4 address (dynamically),
since the router, too, likes to change all of the addresses on, what appears
to be, random basis.  The IPv6 address change at the same time.  Which is a
real bear, as I often leave terminal (ssh) sessions open from my Mac to the
Linux machine, and of course, when the addresses change my sessions are
killed.  Again, all of which I hope to solve with my own connection, the
sooner the better.
