Yes, they look for a web server by running scripts and see what response is sent.

I get the feeling that Comcast is trying to stop people from running web servers on their home systems. Can they know if I am doing that?
Try a forwarding DNS entry, i.e. goto, fly.to. You will have to pay for the service but the service and the program you download will automatically update the DNS entry to your current IP.I'm not sure but it looks that way. I'll restart the web server tomorrow and test my theory.
If you're cheap, and if you have advanced knowledge, just refuse to send a response to their web server queries or block requests from their IP..
