If your (or his) ISP is as anal as lots are about running servers then they'll be blocking standard ports (http/telnet/ssh/ftp/nntp/etc). Port 80 is probably the MOST likely to be blocked, especially thanks to nimda/code-red. And even if they aren't blocking but their AUP doesn't allow servers, then you really don't want a standard port anyway, since their little automated 'security' scanners check those. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
