Do you run the XP firewall? (disable it)
Do you own a router (if so setup port forwarding)
Do you run another firewall (if so allow Abyss onto the internet)

The page cannot be displayed

.

If you want to view it from within ur comp, do
http://localhost/

[ultranet]

Aprelium won't be able to answer your question about blocking the port. You can only ask your ISP about that.

im going to ask aprelium if theres any other problems and i'll ask my isp about the port.
This is kind of giving me the chance to neaten up my apge and get rid of those 404's.

It's supposed to look like this:
http://62.64.228.114 if you use the default 80 port.
http://62.64.228.114:XX if you change the port to something else.
XX can be any port you specify that isn't being used by another program on your PC.

[ultranet]

it works best with the port one, i'll see what my isp blocks.
someone here must be signed up to tiscali, and they should maybe know what do.

tiscali, i need to know what port i can use, and i contact tiscali since i wasent the one who had signed up to it and got the connection.

what ports could i possibly use? and are there any firewalls i could use to configure easily for my server?
