Hi bros...
Intending to set up the above as a mean to share my files easily with friends
Network currently is Starhub Maxonline 12mbps
Comp running Win XP Pro SP3 in a wireless environment with WRT 54G as access point cum router
1)From my understanding since we have a dhcp connection,i can subscribe to a dyndns service provider that it autoupdates its dns server with our everchanging ip address via a software program which I have already sign up and install
2)Setup webserver using Abyss webserver with port 80 as incoming port.Add the dns entry in the ddns option in the router.Showed succesfully updated ddns
3)Forward port 80 at router page to local comp running web server

Result ,only SCV subscibers able to access the website.Users able to download at reasonable speed..Those singnet and m1 is unable to do so.ANy idea how to resolve it?Is it because of a configuration error or network blocking?Any ideas appreciated... :s12:

I just got to know that SCV blocked incoming port 80 from external networks that is outside starhub..So question is how do i translate the dns to point to my ip address of port 36 for to act as webserver...This is to bypass the restriction SCV impose

SH blocks port 80. Use another port.

dyndns provide free webhop service. Go to its and look around for it. Alternatively, access using http://domainname:36

Thanks krazyman...
Anyway Im still cant get it to work
1)I set the example.dyndns.com to webhop
2)The webhop is pointed to the secondary which is example2.dynsdns.com

How to register the example2.dyndns.com?ANd in the wrt54g setup key in example.dyndns.com or example2.dynsdns.com? :s12:

1. Firstly, make sure you've set your webserver to listen to a port other than 80, say 88. Forward port 88 to your server private IP.
2. Test that you can access your webserver using the public IP address and port number, http://IPaddress:88
3. Register an account with dyndns and select a domain name, eg dru1d.dyndns.org
4. Download and install an update client.
5. Test that you can access your domain, eg http://dru1d.dyndns.org:88
6. Now add a webhop host, eg dru1d.webhop.org and set it to redirect to http://dru1d.dyndns.org:88.
7. Now try accessing with http://dru1d.webhop.org
