im a bit of a noob, how would the port forwarding of http traffic allow me to circumvent the problem im having. maybe i should give a bit of background on the pc in question.
Pentium 200 running clark connect 2.0 home edition (which somebody gave me at the meeting). CC-Gallery comes packaged with clark connect http://gallery.menalto.com/ , hosting the site at http://home.jon.za.net/ which is simply a dns redirect to my ip address 68.144.149.3 anybody on the lan can view the gallery but nobody in the outside world can view it. i posted a technical question here which explains the problem in greater detail http://www.clarkconnect.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=netmanage&Number=42287&page=0&view=expanded&sb=5&o=&fpart=1#Post42299 anyway i am up until 5:30 this morning trying to fix it, needless to say im exhausted. jon ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 13, 2003 3:22 PM Subject: Re: (clug-talk) isp blocking ports > no port blocking?

Yes, you can only provide http, ftp, nttp, pop, and smtp services if you have a business package with servers allowed.... legally that is but there is no technical reason why you can't. > > jon > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "todd almond" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, October 13, 2003 10:56 AM > Subject: Re: (clug-talk) isp blocking ports > > > Nope, no port blocking.
