[ale] how to "unblock" port 80

[John Wells]

I think you should be able to use netcat or something equivalent for routing
between 80 and 8081.

> Ron,
Thank You  for response.
He switched web server to 81 and &quot;back to business&quot;. I don't know
about how
he can route 8081 to 80.
I know for sure, that in agreement between customer and Cablevision, they (
CV ) explicitly specifying that U should not run web servers.... :(

&gt; &gt; Hello,
&gt; &gt; my friend is &quot;a proud customer &quot; of CableVision. He has
&gt; cable with them. I
&gt; &gt; mean cable internet access. he is running small web site.
&gt; And today he found
&gt; &gt; out that port 80 is blocked, so nobody can see his site
&gt; except him :). The
&gt; &gt; question is &quot; How to ... &quot; ? :)
&gt; &gt;
&gt;
&gt; I'm going to assume he can scan port 80 locally, but nothing is coming
&gt; from the outside through port 80.  What happens when he routes outside
&gt; port 8081 to local port 80?  Can he &quot;see&quot; his site?  If so,
&gt; &quot;CableVision&quot; is physically blocking this port as a worm
&gt; deterrent.  He
&gt; needs to call &quot;CableVision&quot; and hopefully they have some
techs to help
&gt; him.  I have Alltel DSL for my broadband (very happy with them, only
&gt; down twice in about 3 years, very good tech service), and they have
&gt; blocked port 80 access from their servers downstream to the
&gt; customer as
&gt; a worm/virus deterrent a few times.  I called them up and told them to
&gt; make a note in or flag my account some way so my port 80 and
&gt; 8080 would
&gt; not be blocked.  It has worked so far.
&gt;
&gt; If he can't see his site while routing through a different
&gt; port, then he
&gt; has routing problems on his end.  Without knowing what
&gt; routing hardware
&gt; is being used, can't help there, as I'm not familiar with CableVisions
&gt; equipment
