I got various errors when I tried the site: "Scan ran too long", "Forbidden", etc. If there are other ways to scan my IP, please tell me how. TIA.

Turn off any local firewalling, and go to http://nmap-online.com/ After a quick scan, you will likely see a mix of open, closed and filtered ports. Anything open or filtered should be fine to use. Anything filtered is not. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I have a different ADSL modem, and AFAIK there's no firewall capability in it and it's already set to Bridge mode. I have opened the ports in my Linksys router, and tried to access both standard and "high" ports from different outside locaitons. Nothing has worked. If you're using non-standard ports to get through, please tell me which ones Verizon is leaving open. TIA. Bill ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [Discuss] Verizon ADSL and port blocking
Bill: I have no issue accessing my HP Mediasmart server on both HTTP/HTTPS and I host Ventrilo and Mumble as well with no issue. If you are using the Westel DSL Modem, disable the firewall built in, assuming you have another router and not directly connected from a PC. I also recommend switching it to Bridge mode. Search on Westel Bridged and there are plenty of articles with directions on how to do this. > Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2011 21:34:51 -0400 > From: b...@horne.net > To: discuss@blu.org > Subject: [Discuss] Verizon ADSL and port blocking > > I've decided to put a web server up for a couple of days, but Verizon > DSL is blocking the ports I've tried to use. > > If you have experience with Verizon ADSL, please tell me what ports are > available for my own server. > > TIA. > > Bill > > -- > Bill Horne > 774-219-7638 (cell) > 339-364-8487 (office) > > ___ > Discuss mailing list > Discuss@blu.org > http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
