I don't understand, are you saying your fathers ISP blocks all inbound connections? I highly doubt any ISP is that excessive. (Some do filter a few ports, i.e: port 80.).

How it can be taking "five to ten minutes" to connect is unknown, then again... we know nothing about the setup, you could even be exaggerating things.. (Perhaps he's on dial up?).

Consider doing your father a favour, setup an OpenBSD router for him.. that way you can disable Windows firewall and use pf instead.
