[lordofdeath]

hi everyone,

I try to set up mywebsite at my home computer for running a little personal webpage. It up and run like about 1/2 month then all the suddently it just not work any more.

As i call cable modem up, they told me that port 80 is now blocked. I try different port for my computer to run http server and it does not work. Can someone please help me on these please.

I have SMC router 7004BR. Under Virtual Server, I set up the PORT 82 for Http and in my Apache and my IIS I also set PoRT 82. I tried both Apache and IIS and neither one are working.
when I try 192.168.xxx.xxx:82 in IE browser it does not work. it give me error page, but when i try http://192.168.xxx.xxx:82 then it work locally. also when my friend outside try http://mywan IP:82, also no work at all.

it look like something wrong here. can someone please help.
thank you
Olivier

Try a much higher port than you are using... Try this out http://youwanip: 8080


Some ISP's not only block port 80 but they also block in a range around that port figuring people will just go up or down one port...

It's not supposed to work, it is so he knows to setup his server. His WAN IP address followed by : and then a port.
