 After a quick scan, you will likely see a mix of open, closed and
 filtered ports.  Anything open or filtered should be fine to use.
 Anything filtered is not.

I got various errors when I tried the site: Scan ran too long,
Forbidden, etc. If there are other ways to scan my IP, please tell me
how. 

TIA.

[Discuss] Verizon ADSL and port blocking

2011-10-25 Thread Bill Horne
I've decided to put a web server up for a couple of days, but Verizon 
DSL is blocking the ports I've tried to use.


If you have experience with Verizon ADSL, please tell me what ports are 
available for my own server.


TIA.

Bill

Bill: 
I have no issue accessing my HP Mediasmart server on both HTTP/HTTPS and I host 
Ventrilo and Mumble as well with no issue.

If you are using the Westel DSL Modem, disable the firewall built in, assuming 
you have another router and not directly connected from a PC.  I also recommend 
switching it to Bridge mode.  Search on Westel Bridged and there are plenty of 
articles with directions on how to do this.
