I have installed abyss and nobody can assess the pages. I have not attached the domain name to the server yet. I am having people try based upon the ip address. I have changed the port from 80 to 8888 in case my isp was blocking 80. They still can not access the site. What to do?

Is your firewall blocking http requests?

Do you have a router? (setup port forwarding)
Do you run the Windows XP firewall? (if yes disable it)
Do you run any other firewall? (set it to allow abyss internet access)
Do you have a static (fixed) or dynamic (changing) ip address?

What ip address does this page give you?

No router, and set firewall correctly and turned off firewall, its windows 2000 so no xp firewall. I am at a loss.

Check to make sure that nothing is using port 8888, or just try a different port. You can use this command in the command line to figure out if a port is in use-

netstat -an | find ":8888"

Then if you see an IP address or a bunch of IP addresses, then that port is already in use. If nothing appears, then nothing is using it, and your probelm still exsists. Try a different port then anyway. Or, you could goto https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 to figure out witch ports are open, and even though this has nothing to do with it, how secure your computer is.[/url]
