You have a big issue here... Verizon's Terms of Service!!!!

YOU CAN'T run a server! You can try but they will terminate your DSL line.  Here is the paragraph that will get you, notice the next to last sentence!

3. # Restrictions on Use. The Service is a consumer grade service and is not designed for or intended to be used for any commercial purpose. You may not resell the Service, use it for high volume purposes, or engage in similar activities that constitute such use (commercial or non-commercial). If you subscribe to a Broadband Service, you may connect multiple computers/devices within a single home to your modem and/or router to access the Service, but only through a single Verizon-issued IP address. You also may not exceed the bandwidth usage limitations that Verizon may establish from time to time for the Service, or use the Service to host any type of server. Violation of this section may result in bandwidth restrictions on your Service or suspension or termination of your Service.

It could well be they are blocking all the normal outbound ports used for servers?  

You can visit http://portforward.com  to see how to setup your router to "reach" your server.... but even then you may find it doesn't work.

You can upgrade to a business class line that allows servers!
