hi spyware doctor,
i am aware that it may not be allowed by my isp...i have no intention of putting up a permenent web site. for one the pc would be on all the time
using electricity, second i have no earth shatering information that must be available to the world...and third i am not trying to sell anything...i have seen a site that was up briefly (1 day) that was reachable from the neighborhood
library but not accross town..its my understanding that it takes time for your domain name to propagate accross a networks...various routers and search engines...but this site WAS visable on port 81 or 8080 this was some time ago ( a year?) what i have now is a redirected web page functioning fine
(geocities.com site)..but the port 80 redirect stops at the routers external
(web ip) and displays the routers administration page if directed to port 80 a
redirect to 81, or 8080 gives the page cannot be displayed this happens with two different pc's 98 and xp its as if the router is not forwarding the request to my internal IP's and ports (i do get a DCOM error 10009) inthe error log saying cannot resolve ip's of 192.168.0.1 and .10 and .04 i am simplely interested in learning about ports network config and such for my own edification and a job in the future with IT..any help would be appreciated a link to some easily understandable tutorials about the subject thanks john

one question running the netstat -a cmd gives me this line
LOCAL ADDRESS FORIEGN ADDRESS STATE
TCP newgort:81 newgort:0 listening
TCP newgort:8080 newgort:0 listening

LISTENING ON PORT ZERO???
