My website has been offline for the past week or so. For some reason, nobody outside of my local network could access it. I contacted my ISP and they searched diligently, but could find no fault in their system to explain it. They did find that all incoming network ports to my IP address were blocked.

I was a little perplexed by this, because I have made no network changes on my network that would explain this. After double checking all of my firewall settings, I thought I’d take a shot at a firmware upgrade on my router.

Surprise! That fixed it! I’m still not sure why upgraded firmware would fix a problem that seemingly appeared out of nowhere, but it’s working now, so that’s good enough for me.
