>My ISP does not block port 80;) I had an NT server running with apache >before;) Was this before the Code Red, Code Red II, and Nimda outbreaks a little while back? That's what caused several major ISPs like @Home started blocking access to port 80, to limit the spread of those worms. Newsgroup discussion about AT&T @Home blocking port 80: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&th=12e988d88474dbb1&seekm=tngj5691 g42b1d%40corp.supernews.com&frame=off Discussion about Optimum Online's blocking of port 80 access: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&th=f1a9093f77257407&rnum=1 From the above thread: "OOL blocked port 80, as did many other providers, because of the morons on their service running micro$oft IIS compromised by the Code Red worm. Why not run your server on one of the designated HTTP alternate ports? 8008 or 8080" From Cablevision's Customer Service Internet Service Policy (Cablevision is the parent of Optimum Online): http://www.cablevision.com/customer/service/i_policies.html "Subscriber may not run a server in connection with the optimum online service, nor may subscriber provide network services to others via the optimum online service Examples of prohibited uses include, but are not limited to, running servers for mail, http, ftp, irc and dhcp and multi-user interactive forums." From what I can tell your machine is connected to the net via a cable modem through Optimum Online, which does not allow servers to be run and has blocked port 80 access to thwart Code Red, etc. That coupled with nmap not getting any response on ports 80, 137-139, and 445, (all MS file sharing ports except 80) would lead me to believe that your ISP has put the kibosh on port 80 access. Sorry dude. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
