Eric has a good idea... consult Apache documentation http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mpm_common.html#listen I would suggest port 443, most firewalls allow outbound connections to 443 and this will maximize the number of corporate users that can reach your site. Port 443 is https but there is no requirement that you use SSL on it. I have done this for over 2 years on my cable connection. >and if you can, run www.yourdomain.com on another machine, that just >has a redirect to http://homebox.domain.com:8080 There are free DNS services that can provide email alias and redirection so you don't need to setup another web/mail server, one such service is DynDNS.org http://support.dyndns.org/whitepapers/customredirect.php -- RedWolf Freeware Oracle [EMAIL PROTECTED] - email > Drew, > > I'm going to assume you're not behind any sort of firewall on your > side.. > > Verizon's TOS say that users are allowed to run services, however they > block inbound port 80 on their routers.
