I am having a strange problem here...
My port 80 is not being seen on the WAN side of my network, I tried viewing my website away from my network and could not view it. I can however view it from the inside of my network.

I do have a NAT/switch from Linksys but I know that my access controls and packet filtering is set properly because I entered several port ranges and all ports were available (including ssl), except port 80! I even went to and tried the shields up, only to find that the port 80 was stealth!

I don't get this problem.. does anyone have a suggestion?>


Thanks for any help in advance!!!

Hi,

Well if you mean it works fine for me - seems to be apache on M$/windows.

Otherwise is sounds like either a packet filtering/firewall issue or related in some way to the use of NAT. Can u give more details - i.e. op sys/distro, http server, etc.

Who is your ISP? If you are running a small site from home off of broadband or dsl, many ISP's have blocked all access to port 80 because of the Code Red worm.
 
Looks okay from here.. I don't have any trouble getting to you..nslookup returns
some rented nameservers and one box.
 
Actually the url there is my business address, but I am running a test server and that is running off the Verizon DSL network. I am guessing that they did ban port 80, and that would make me angry, afterall I am paying a lot of money for the connex.

Thanks for the tip WurlyBurly.

The machine is a redhat linux machine with apache
