Virgin Media block port 80?
 

Hi there, does anyone know if Virgin Media block port 80, as since moving to them my webserver isn't accessable from the internet?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Are you using a router? If so you may have to set up port forwarding. If the router is the cause of this, the requests to port 80 are hitting your router and the router is not your webserver. ;)

I have a router and a Virgin Media modem and port forwarding is setup for port 80 on the router, but it still doesn't work, the address is www.ninko.homeip.net if you want to try it yourself

No they don't block port 80.

www.ninko.homeip.net resolves to 208.69.32.130, which is not your Cable modem's IP address, so it's not going to work.

Re: Virgin Media block port 80?
 

I don't understand that, because I get: ninko.homeip.net resolved to 82.45.XXX.XXX, which is my IP address.

I'm wondering, can the Virgin Media modem be stopping it somehow?

Any further ideas?

Thanks

Firstly, you want to remove your IP adress from your post, not a good idea.

Secondly try ninko.homeip.net without the www in front of it, works from here.

Also a quick look through you website and I can see lots of links that have 'www' infront of them, your either going to have to remove the www, or go into your control panel at dyndns.org and put a tickbox into the wildcard box for your hostname.

Thats strange, because before I changed ISP it use to be fine with www. infront of it, any idea why this might have changed because now I really am lost lol.

Thanks

i'd say it was a quirk with your last ISP personally, your domain name is ninko.homip.net not www.ninko.homeip.net.

No need to be confused, just drop the www, or enable wildcards like i've suggested. The bottom line is that with your previous setup putting www infront of your domain worked, it shouldn't have, but it did.

Thanks for that info, I have now enabled wildcards.

Thanks again.

Take care

I'm getting this page, is that correct?

Re: Virgin Media block port 80?
 

Actually, that's what I get if I try to browse to ninko.homeip.net, if I go to www.ninko.homeip.net I get your proper page.

Re: Virgin Media block port 80?
 

Strange, wonder why that is?

Dunno, just seemed odd (and like it could potentially be a problem if people can't get to your site). I think some of the links on the 'other' page lead to dubious web sites.....

Re: Virgin Media block port 80?
 

ninko.homeip.net works ninko.homip.net gets you a page of spyware links. Think it was a typo.

Re: Virgin Media block port 80?
 

both ninko.homeip.net and www.ninko.homeip.net. bring you to the same site :/
