Port 80 missing

[rninja]

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

http://www.grc.com

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!!!

Hiya Rninja,

Your Linksys box is the obvious candidate here - check the setup and the documentation again, do you have to explicitly enable port 80? Mike

Email welcome if you're in a hurry or something -- but post in tek-tips as well please, and I will post my reply here as well.

Is your web server running on a private network address ?, if so you also need to "port forwarding" port 80 to your web server address, on LinkSys configuration go to "Advanded" tab and then "Forwarding":

Service Port Range Protocol IP Address
80 80 Both x.x.x.x

Where x.x.x.x is your web server address, then if everthing is okay it should work from external.

Hope it helps,

Regards,

Thanks for the help.
A few individuals have told me that it is because major ISP's are portblocking port 80, and I do think that is the case because my setup is perfect.
