    My connection keeps going in and out...When running a check on my PC it says I might need to check HTTP port 80, HTTPS port 443 & FTP port 21....

    How can I check these? Thanks in advance....

    Are you behind a router or a dsl modem?

    This will work but not if you have a hardware firewall (router and dsl modem)

    I have no router....I have a modem through a cable internet provider....Every time I check those form your link it says they cannot see them because it has timed out.....???? Not really sure where to go from here....

    You failed to mention your version of windows; we can't really tell you where to look if we have to guess what you are using.
    You also failed to mention what firewall you are using and a mention of other security programs might help because they might be blocking something.
