RE: BT - ADSL

["Steve Morgan" <steve@xxxxxxx>]

There's a tiny wrinkle that I forgot to mention ;-)

 

I have my dns2go mapping set up so that it maps www.wormpurple.dns2go.com to port 8080

 

You can also get to it by using http://wormpurple.dns2go.com:8080

 

Having said that.......

 

Port 80 isn't blocked. Neither is port 21.

 

If you try http://wormpurple.dns2go.com (i.e. without the www.), you get to an "Under Construction" web site that is running on the same server - but this one is port 80.

 

I set up the port 8080 mapping because I _thought_ that port 80 was blocked, but it ain't!

 

I've also got HomeSeer on port 8088 (I hope the guest access works properly now I've said that!) - this is on a different server.

 

BT are also supposed to be offering static IP soon. There was supposed to be an announcement last week - go figure!

 

FWIW - the web site on port 8080 (www.) is an early iteration of my new web site. It's static HTML but generated using a proggie of mine using XML and XSL. For instance, I can add an entry about a new X10 module into my XML, say, and when I rerun the generator, I get a new page complete with piccie and text, a new menu item and a new entry in the site map. Which is nice. Hopefully, it'll see the real light of day soon (I've been working on it for 14 months now).

 

Cheers,

Steve
