There might be some port redirection service you could use, but I don't know what it is..
you can set apache to use a different port.. then somewhere online.. use one of the free webhosting accounts with friendly URL's like http://go.to/franki (or get a real domain.) put a page up there and use meta tags or javascript to redirect it to your "other" port.. that way people only need to remember the go.to address and the other port still gets used.. other then that, another ISP??? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Roger Sherman Sent: Sunday, 26 May 2002 1:50 AM To: newbie Subject: Port 80 was Re: [newbie] Dynamic DNS I use dyndns.org to redirect people to my PC when they type in my domain name, so thats not a problem. What is the problem is, due to the nimda type stuff, my ISP (Optimum Online) has blocked port 80. Now, I know I can change the port that Apache runs on, but since browsers by default go to port 80, it seems I can't use my PC as a server for my website anymore...which sucks, since I definilty don't want to pay for virtual hosting, even as cheap as it's gotten. Hell, even if it was free, I'd still want to host it myself... Does anyone have a solution for this? Is there any way around the port 80 blockade, where someone could type http://www.rogersherman.com instead of having to type http://www.rogersherman.com:newport#? - peace, Rog
