I presume this is a better place to put this rather than server fault.
I'm interested in setting up a small site to host at home as a "proof of concept" exercise, i.e. to prove that I know how to do it. I've got a (virtual) server 2003 machine with a site on it, all configured with port forwarding through to 80 on my server. I have a Belkin F5D7634 which I have put my DYNDNS details in but when I try to go to my DYNDNS address it comes up with the page cannot be displayed.
My ISP is Carphone Warehouse/AOL and I've been unable to find any information if they block port 80. If they do, can anybody recomend a home provider that does not block port 80?
3The only thing I have to add is that you should try forwarding to and running the server on a different port (e.g. 8000) and connecting to that one instead. If it works, you know that port 80 is special, i.e., blocked. – marcusw – 2010-04-26T18:10:27.527
1+1 for the call tech support idea, much appriciated. – tombull89 – 2010-04-30T14:35:25.357
1My isp just straight off says no ports are blocked, when all the ports are. Not really reliable unless you can catch them red handed by asking them to try open both your public and local ip on their computer. – RiA – 2016-03-17T02:50:26.790
