How in the H3&&  would I know what are the correct IPs?  Where does cox
specify this block is for res and this block is for biz?  If I don't have
that there isn't any way to tell.

Nope, Best bet is not to talk to Cox.  They usually walk away from the
phone convo and do something unwanted.  I tend to just work-around them
whenever possible.  In this case, I could change configuration instead of
waking the beast.
