Problems accessing my server.

Firstly well done guys for a great program i have been using about 2 weeks now.

However i have just realised only i can view my site from my local computer.

Im running on windows XP home with no routers, Just a plain old ADSL modern and the freebie zone alarm firewall, i have had to change the port to 8082 as my isp bloacks 80, I have an account with no-ip.com which when i set it up on a A name to my ip address it dont work reason i believe is i can find no option in no-ip.com to use port 8082 instead, However if i use a web redirect with them instead and redirect it to http://12.34.56.78:8082 it works fine.

Althou it works great with the later option it really is no use to me as i would prefer a A name for obvious reasons, With a redirect you only need to right click > properties and u got the ip address link instead which i dont like.

Maybe they is a way using no-ip.com that i havent seen or maybe theres an option in windows XP to forward on port 8082

Any help gladly appreciated

I think you can just set the redirect address at no-ip.com to http://12.34.56.78:8082/

You cannot setup actual A records without port 80 but you can do a port 80
type of redirect that works pretty good , follow these instructions. LateR!

01. Create an A record sub domain
02. Redirect your main domain to that sub domain
with the port at the end of it , most people do this.
