<DIV>Contact your ISP and ask them what your fixed IP is (presuming you are
paying for a fixed IP?) and enquire if they are doing any maintenance or

should be open????? also, 80 and<BR>5190 closed??? what is going
on? for nmap i used the IP address the<BR>router tells me it
has.<BR><BR>the router has a log, all that is showing is that i constantly get

means? does that mean<BR>denial of service? quick though came to

problem?<BR><BR>any help appreciated? this problem is more than a

Guys,<BR>>
Can any one help me out with this silly
problem?<BR>><BR>>
I have a spare box set up for learning ruby on rails,
<BR>>
and i want to
view<BR>>
pages on it from the internet (eg work). however
my<BR>>
router simply
WILL<BR>>
NOT behave as though it is visible ofn the internet.
<BR>>
i cannot ping
it<BR>>
or anything. in the past i had ftp and mysql
going<BR>>
through it from
the<BR>>
itnernet onto my little network to a particular box,
<BR>>
but now it
just<BR>>
won't play ball. i checked and double checked i
have<BR>>
the right ip
and<BR>>
i'm sure i have it correctly. any ideas? i enabled
<BR>>
port forwarding
for<BR>>
3000 which is what ruby on rails and webrick uses
for<BR>>
development.
but<BR>>
ithink its nothing to do with the box becuase there is
<BR>>
no record in
the<BR>>
router log of any connections being
attemped????<BR>><BR>>
does anyone have any suggestions? is it possible
the<BR>>
isp blocked it
<BR>>
somehow?<BR>><BR>>
cheers,<BR>>
