Opening a Port
One of the pieces of software I use on my PC requires that ports 25 and 53 be open. Based on this link, looks like 25 is blocked. http://www.cox.com/residential/support/internet/article.cox?articleId=cacf82f0-6407-11df-ccef-000000000000
How can i open it?

You can't. Its blocked by Cox, probably to stop people from running DNS and and SMTP relay servers on residential accounts. Get a Business account maybe?

Port 25 has been so abused by spammers over the years almost no one allows it any more, cox included. I suggest to see what options you have in your software for a different port number.

You make an interesting point. While the software does not work at my house, it does work at the coffee shop down the street.
I am using my home internet for business purposes, maybe they will open it up
