and dont worry, i already read the sticky from inanimate, its just that i have comcast HSI, and it blocks port 80, and i dont have a router, just an ethernet card on my comp which is directly connected to my cable modem. does anyone know how i could work around this? if anyone does, i would be very gratefull.

thanks in advance

Just change the port directly on Abyss to something that isn't port 80 - if your cable modem is simply a modem then you have no need to worry about port fowarding. If this doesn't work, check the manual for the cable modem to ensure it has no firewall, or post the model number here.

if port 80 doesnt work try ports like 8080, 8000, anything high should work

Then you need to check your modem is a modem and not a router. What is the model name / number ?

Now, are you remembering to append the port at the end of your URL?

If you change it to something like 8080, you need to type "http://yoururl.com:8080," not just "http://yoururl.com."

I've seen the modems given from Comcast before. Just because he may be in a different area, I'll bet 99% they aren't router/modems.

well they gave me a motorola surfboard man, and thats the model name, anyway, getting back to my problem, will my website ever be able to be displayed on the internet, publicly?

here is the link on newegg, i have the exact same modem
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=25-122-104&depa=0 and it was given to me by comcast, and the model nunber for mine, is SB5120

We got this sorted out.

It turns out that "http://soptame-central.comcast.net:8080" doesn't resolve to his IP address correctly, and so when typing in hisip:8080, it worked.
