Is your server updating DynDNS with your new IP address successfully? 2. Take a look at DynDNS's MyWebHop service. This service forwards port 80 to whatever port you choose. That way, the redirection is transparent to people accessing your site. 3. The only change in Apache configuration needed (relating to the port blocking issue) is to change the port the Apache listens on. This is done in the httpd.conf file. If you're not familiar with this file, you can get lots of good information at: http://httpd.apache.org/ Best of luck, Andrew Gould ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Though I think it is rare an ISP will blocking 80 port, but if this is the case, you can modify apache configuration file to use different port number. In httpd.conf file, find the line "Listen 80" and replace 80 to another number.(ex 81) then in your browser, http://blahblah.dyndns.org:81/ Regards, Xordos. > > My knowledge of how to accomplish this quite frankly stinks.

Configuring Apache with DynDNS
I am attempting to get Apache to work on my computer. My ISM only supplies me with a dynamic IP as well as blocking of port 80. I am using DynDNS to try and circumvent that situation. My knowledge of how to accomplish this quite frankly stinks. Even using a copy of O'Reilly's Apache has not helped me much. If anyone has a similar type of setup, I would appreciate them contacting me directly. I can supply all of my configuration files for them to look at. I am probably just doing something really stupid but I lack the knowledge to figure it out on my own.
