Page Does Not Work

[rocketrye12]

Hey Guys, I've been having a problem with my server too. I set up the abyss web server and uploaded my page to the directory. The ip for my network is :24.45.251.196 . I forwarded the http port (80) to my local ip 192.168.1.103 and it appeared to work fine when I acccessed it using the world wide ip. I then configured dyndns.org to work with the domain :

http://yanaboo.mine.nu/

However I can access that page from my internal network, however accessing that page from eslewhere on the net does not work. Even using the ip does not work either, from outside my network that is. I checked in abyss and dyndns and both state the ip as being a world wide one, so dyndns did not record my local ip... I am thinking mabye my isp is stopping it or i need to change something::::: my isp is Optimum Online in Westchester, NY. Thanks guys for your help::

correction!!!!!

I just changd to port from port 80 to port 881. It now works perfectly. My isp blocks port 80. However, do you know how i can override that withough upgrading my service to a static ip? Now, my site is yanaboo.webhop.org

which works!211!...still need to overide that prt tho; HElp

simple....

if you have a webhop, you must have either a static IP or dynamic IP DNS , simply use the DNS name that you put into the webhop name with the port number added to it.

eg.

if you have myserver.webhop.net as your external URL, in your settings you have a DNS name of myserver.mine.nu which has your machines IP address, you simply tell the webhop address setting to use the
http://yanaboo.mine.nu:881/ as the connection address, anyone then using the myserver.webhop.net address will automatically connect on port 881 because the DNS resolves not only the address but the port because it has been supplied with the connection address.

This is useful if you need to change the connect address, you only make the changes in the webhop settings, so you can safely move your port that you allow connection on, this will stop you from being easily detected and also stop hotlinking to files and content you may be serving up.

I understand that part.....thanks alot. My question still is: how do i get around my isp blocking port 80? is there a way?

[senshi]

yup

set abyss to accept incoming connections on a port that is not 80 and >1000.

Generally port 8080 is used as the fall back port, if this is still being blocked, choose any port number between 10,000 and 65,535.

then in in your webhop address, put a DNS that points to your machine BUT add the port number to the address so that the URL for the Dynamic/Static IP address looks like ... http://yourDNSname.dyndns.ws:12543 < the last bit :12543 is the port number. this when added to the webhop will mask that address, you only then need to give out the webhop address, the IP is resolved and the port that it needs to connect to is also indicated.

Now at your end, if your on a LAN or have a NAT you need to forward that port that you have assigned to the DNS and the server so that you can get a connection in.

BUT!!! It is more likely that your ISP is running a proxy service, if you followed the same procedurte but with port 80, if you can connect without issue, your ISP is using proxy servers to hide your IP address.

See how you get on.
