http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers IThe default port for a Sage server (8000) is officially reserved for Remote Desktop Management and so Sage should not be using that port. This causes a practical problem, as company firewalls are likely to be open on port 8080, but not on 8000, which at least one Sage user has found. As such, I've made http://t2nb.math.washington.edu:8080 be available on the correct port, which is 8080. It's still available on port 8000, but if anyone is aware of a reference to this server on port 8000, I suggest they edit it and change it to 8080. I've done this on Wikipedia myself, but nowhere else. As noted elsewhere, I think Sage should change the default port from 8000 to 8080. Dave Instead we should use 8080, which is designated as an alternative HTTP server. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
