Jeff... I know my DSL modem from Qwest will let me enable and disable web stuff and change web ports. I don't think web access is stopped at the telco end, at least not with Qwest. Does anyone know what the correct web port address should be in a DSL modem? When I enabled web service in my modem, I assigned it port 8080, but I have no idea if that is correct. I need to learn more about my modem so I can configure it correctly. jack in portland oregon -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
