are you sure ports/firewall or whatever is not blocking the external connections ?

[waymirec]

Is this a broadband connection? If so your ISP is probably blocking port 80. Use another port.

[darkmagishin]

ROFL, i google'd 'verizion fios port 80", only to find a how bunch of post by people saying verizon blocks port 80, lawl. they block it on normal services, i read that to unblock it, you have to buy their business account -.- so idk, you can try to call your isp customer support and ask if its closed, and if it is, how to open it.

what fags.... i hate verizon... im glad i dont use thier cell phone service haha


hahahaha well guess what i found this off a site

I canceled verizon fios. The sales people kept saying port 80/Apache was not blocked on whatever would cost me more money. I had five verizon workers here and all that was missing under the hot Florida sun was a keg and a couple bands.

Anyway I was told at the point of having a business account activated and working that I needed to have a static IP address which would only cost me $100 a month! The whole reason I got fios in the first place was because it was $5 cheaper then Comcast! Plus if I was running a dot.com out of my home why would I stick with a dynamic IP address?!

I was fed up with everything and gave them the boot (but not two because that would give them a pair! ). Still waiting for my refund to appear in the bank. I imagine that Comcast is not blocking Apache to appeal to our crowd but also because I'm getting this overall message that DSL is going to completely leave cable in the dust. I'm not really sure except for one thing: if Apache doesn't reach my business partner in a different state for private testing purposes then I'm not going to use their service!

Some other notes of interest: I never saw anything better then 8 megabit on their 20 megabit connection, not even at the speed-test websites. The upload speed of five megabits was great except that it was exclusively limited to just my FTP connection. AIM, Yahoo, file uploads via the browser, all barely hitting 10-20 kilobytes a second tops. The thing is that I'm almost exclusively testing locally so all the speed in the world does not matter to me. All I can do is just stick with Comcast, hope they increase their speeds eventually, and don't block port 80 for any reason.

Hopefully this will save other people TONS of time and aggravation at the expense of about 30 hours of my life.

I would suggest you boot them too, unfurtuatly i cant because i dont pay for it, or i would get comcast... hahaha!!!!!! this blows >.<

same i wish i could but ya my mom just switched to it

[TheSpidey]

Just make Apache run on port 8080 :P

[waymirec]

...that DSL is going to completely leave cable in the dust.

that's funny. And just about any of the larger ISP's are going to block port 80 and 21. The smaller ones may allow it to help them scrape together a few more customers.
