Getting a new ISP is not really an option. They are my local cable
company. Ipso facto, they have a de facto monopoly on cable in this
region. I cannot simply shop for another service.

Actually, they are a pretty good company. Their service is good, and
they are willing to work with me on most issues. They will even sell me
a static IP is I am willing to fork over $25 additional each month.

In addition to port 80, they also block port 25. This sort of behavior
is becoming an industrial standard now with cable companies. The
blocking of port 25 has to do with the 'worm' problem a few years ago.
The port 80 blocking is more attuned to greed I believe, but that is pure
speculation.

Do you have DSL in your area?  Also you can get an offsite webhost for
about $10 a month.

Yes that is true and with the recent US Supreme Court ruling it is
going to get worse.  But you also probably don't understand the politics
behind it, either.

The US Supreme Court lawsuit was funded primariarly by Verizon, behind
the scenes, with assistance from some of the other telephone companies.
While on the surface it appears to have failed, in actuality like many
Supreme Court rulings it helps both sides.

For the cable companies they get, obviously, the ability to do whatever
the hell they want without having to open their networks.

However the telecommunications companies get something too, and that is
the ability to federally regulate the cable companies.

Previously to the ruling, regulation of the cable companies was on a state
by state and county by county basis.  With lots of money, the cable companies
could easily quash any local attempts at regulation of Internet services
by the local cable franchise granters.

Now with the ruling, regulatory control of the cable companies has
been effectively turned over to the FCC.  (If you don't understand why
this is, read the decision)  Thus all that is necessary is for the
telecommunications lobby to get cable regulation bills pushed through
Congress, which they could, based on the level playing field premise.
The FCC will probably try to prevent this from happening by preemptively
issuing their own regulations, but don't forget that the FCC got regulatory
control over the telephone companies though an Act of Congress.  The
same thing is now in the future for the cable companies.

Now, the cable companies know all this too, and they of course don't
want it to happen.  So what they are doing now is making absolutely sure
that their price and service structure is equal or slightly higher than the DSL
providers.  As a result of this you do not have situations where
a telecommunications company dumps 5 million bucks into a metropolitian
area to put in DSLAMS and gets no subscribers, because everyone is using
cable since it's $10 cheaper a month for Internet service, or because
everyone who wants a server gets a cable connection and uses dydns.

Doing this then gets the market split between cable and DSL, which removes the
impetus for the telephone companies to heavily fund regulation legislation
in the US congress.

Every broadband supplier in the industry, both Cable and DSL, knows that
the biggest obstacle to growth of broadband is that there is no killer app
that forces users to switch to it.  A decade ago, the killer app was
e-mail and web surfing, that literally forced every computer user to
get an ISP and dialup account.  But today, the existence of the cut-rate
$10-a-month dialup providers has created a situation where the majority
of home Internet users are still on dialup modems.

So, while it may seem on the surface that if either the cable company or
the telecommunications companies could get a lot of market share by undercutting
each other, the effect would be that the other would run to Congress with
a pocketful of money to do nasty things.  And the market gain would be only
transient because most users have shown that when it comes to broadband they
don't give a shit about quality of service, all they care about is what is 
cheaper.
The second the company that was doing the $10 undercut ran out of money, and
put their rates back, all the users they gained would go back to the other
provider. It's kind of a mutually assured destruction sort of thing.

The DSL providers in most areas have one thing that hampers them that
the cable companys don't - they are distance-limited from the CO.
So in any given metro area you have holes in DSL coverage, where the
cable company

My new problem is how do I do an FTP into the site. 
  

   


Well, you first have to FTP into www2.beerstud.us as the FTP protocol
does not have any way to create a redirect the way that dydns is doing
for you with their web server.

Second, if your ISP is so stupid as to block incoming port 80 yet allow
people to run web servers on any other port number, then it is 
 


quite likely
   

that they are stupid enough to block incoming port 21 (the FTP 
 


port) yet
   


allow incoming FTP on any other port.

In which case you just run your ftp daemon and your command line ftp
client program with the -P option and choose some convenient 
 


port number.
   




 


I just tried using
WS~Pro from a WixXP machine, but that failed.
  

   


Don't know about that one however the WS_FTP that is the freeware one
has a Advanced tab on the site config that allows you to specify the
remote port.

Ted

 

  Ted's advise  is really good considering that more ftpd's run on 
non-standard ports than httpd's, or at least what I've seen so far. 
Besides, if you have to serve via FTP then just use an ftpd instead of 
obfuscating transfers via httpd; ftpd is much better at helping people 
get files than http anyhow ;).
  I say get rid of the ISP and find a better one. Any ISP that 
actively blocks port 80-a port which should be allowed as a backup port 
for programs-isn't really setup correctly and I doubt that they 
have all 
of your best interests in mind when making decisions.

Sarath, I will see if I can rephrase some of this, and at least help
*MY* understanding.  If your ISP is blocking port 80, then the fix
absolutely must fall into one of two categories: either you can find out
how your ISP is blocking it, and do a workaround of that, or you must
have someone else perform a service for you, having the required URL
changed to be the correct base port (not 80, and I would myself choose
8080, if your ISP didn't block that also).  Nice thing about that, your
friendly apache-friend isn't going to lose any bigtime bandwidth,
because it's still being served from your machine, your friend is merely
serving to redirect the port, not actually
serve it.

Now, I will make the assumption here that the above paragraph is mostly
right.  You could use ethereal very simply to check and make sure of
it.  One screwup would be to have the redirect be close, but not
actually what it should be, and it's really, really easy to read and
check this.  I'd bet it as either a very likely thing to be, OR while
you do it, you are pretty likely to spot the real problem.  Go give it a
try.  Ethereal is such a great tool that you can't really lose here,
learning how to use it, you're looking at a win-win situation.

RE: Still trying to get my site up!

2005-06-26 Thread John Brooks
do you have any kind of firewall? from the outside world port 9545
is closed. so either it is being blocked, you are not actually
listening on it, or there is no port forwarding on your gateway.

run this on the box itself and post the output:
  netstat -na | grep LISTEN

try to connect from another host on your network:
  http://192.168.0.4:9545

then try:
  http://192.168.0.4:80

 Subject: Still trying to get my site up!


 Thanks to several individuals, I have almost gotten my Apache2 server
 working. Almost, but not quite.

 My ISP blocks port 80; therefore I am using a redirect from DynDNS.org to
 redirect to an alias using port 9545.

 The 'beerstud.us' redirects to 'www2.beerstud.us:9545'

 From my FreeBSD box, if I type: lynx http://beerstud.us, I see the
 following message: Using http://www2.beerstud.us:9545/. The connection is
 made and the index.htm file is displayed.

 However, I am unable to reach this site from any other computer.
 Eventually, the request will time out and I receive an error message
 telling me that the site is not available.

 I am not sure what I am doing wrong at this point. I have posted the
 following files if anyone feels ambitious enough to look them over for me.

 httpd.conf =  http://www.seibercom.us/FreeBSD/httpd.conf

 hosts =   http://www.seibercom.us/FreeBSD/hosts

 This is the output from ifconfig -a
 net-card.txt  =   http://www.seibercom.us/FreeBSD/net-card.txt

 resolv.conf   =   http://www.seibercom.us/FreeBSD/resolv.conf

 The 'hosts' file has a pretty good description of my network in it. I
 double checked my router, and I believe it is configured
 correctly to pass
 port 9545 through.

No, you are not.  You cannot redirect to a specific port using
the DNS system.

Currently dydns.org has beerstud.us pointing to IP address 63.208.196.110
If that is your IP address then hosts on the Internet that query
www.beerstud.us will go to port 80 on that IP address.  If that isn't
your IP number then it must be an IP address of a webhost that will
issue a HTTP redirect when it gets a query to port 80 on your beerstud.us
URL.

The 'beerstud.us' redirects to 'www2.beerstud.us:9545'

From my FreeBSD box, if I type: lynx http://beerstud.us, I see the
following message: Using http://www2.beerstud.us:9545/. The
connection is
made and the index.htm file is displayed.

However, I am unable to reach this site from any other computer.

You need to contact the support department of your ISP.  I don't
understand why you think that your ISP is just blocking port 80 and
not any other port.  There are firewalls out there nowadays smart
enough to see an incoming HTTP request and block it no matter what
port it's coming in on.  If your ISP is blocking port 80 that probably
means you haven't paid for an enhanced account that will allow you
to run a server.  If that is the case and your ISP is making money off
allowing ports to be open for customers, then I would think that they
probably have one of those firewalls setup that blocks incoming
HTTP get requests no matter what port they come in on.
