Has anyone used the HS Web Server across the Internet to an ATTBI address. I know ATTBI allows this in some areas although I think it's not according to their usage agreement. However, here in the DFW area, I cannot ping my modem with the IP address I've been assigned. I have DNS2GO installed but it doesn't seem to reach the modem either. I'm wondering if my setup is wrong or if http requests are being blocked by ATTBI?

How are you determining the ip address youhave been assigned?

I am looking at the IP config in my D-Link 701 router. It shows the ip address assigned by ATTBI's DHCP server. Also, there are several web sites that will return your ip address. I wrote such a script and put it on my externally hosted web page. So I actually have several ways to determine the assigned ip address. Until recently, I could ping that address but now it doesn't respond even after resetting the modem. ATTBI apparently has really long lease times on their DHCP addresses because they don't change often.Comment

Yea MCHSI (MediaCom High speed Internet) has a long lease time as well. My ipaddress hasn't changed for three months and the beauty of a router is it continues to request the last IPaddress you had and apparently it gets what it wants. What port are you running HS on? Some ISP block pings as well as port 80. Does you router show any traffic that has been blocked? Try a non standard port say 8080 or 8081 and see if you can get through. Can any servers get through? Netmeting, file swaping servers, IVista, etc??

I was never able to get my server online with ATTBI. So, now I'm attempting to use DNS2Go's dialup to my dialup ISP and have made that connection to my HS server. As soon as I've worked out the setup to make DNS2Go dial the modem and connect while directing all other internet connections to my cable modem, I'll be set.
If anyone has successful experience with HS serving across ATTBI residential client connections, please let me know at john@johnghormley.com.
Thanks.Comment

Using ATTBI, and HS webserver no problem here. Take the server off of port 80, and put it somewhere else, like 81. If you are behind a corporate firewall when trying to view your site, this may cause other problems.

I have my servers running on 8080 and 8081 which are bocked on most company firewalls. The solution is http-tunnel.com and a proxy.pac script. Pokes a hole through the firewall (everything goes out port 80) for your apps that supports SOCKS like IE. For the ones that don't you can use Socks32. It will grabs the outbound tcpip calls and force them over socks/http tunnel.

I'm not behind a firewall except for a D-Link 701 Router. I have the HS Web Server running on port 1500 and can see it as long as I long into my dial-up ISP. However, if I direct the browser to the ATTBI IP, it doesn't work. I'd heard that some were able to make ATTBI work in some locales. I've yet to hear of anyone in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, however.Comment

Since the ATTBI/@home changeover, I've been unable to ping my cable modem. Is there something ATTBI can do to prevent that? I get not results trying to ping my IP at 12.238.220.189Comment

I am unfamiliar with http-tunnel.com. I that a redirector? If so, I'm using DNS2GO already. I'm also not familiar with a proxy.pac script or what it does. Where can I learn about the script, please?Comment

As long as we know that port 81 works here, on ATTBI, give it a shot.
Also it is normal not to receive an answer from a ping.
Are you SURE that you have your IP address correct?
Also how about posting youre address here. Lets see if one of us can get to it.

Just for laughs, I tried the address that you posted a few posts ago, on port 1500 and I was able to access your webserver from Homeseer no problem. I also see that you do not appear to have guest access allowed [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]

Its works here also but you need to watch your custom pages. If I cancel on the HS login dialog box it shows one of your pages anyway.

http tunnel allows yout to access a site from a remote location (company network) where your non standard port (81, 8081 etc) is blocked by the firewall.
A pac file will force the use of the tunnel for only certain sites (yours)
ie:
---BEGIN PROXY.PAC---
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (isPlainHostName(host))
return "DIRECT";
else if (shExpMatch(host, "control.smartcondo.net"))
return "SOCKS localhost:1080";
else if (shExpMatch(host, "cybera.dnsalias.com"))
return "SOCKS localhost:1080";
else if (shExpMatch(host, "63.105.21.234"))
return "SOCKS localhost:1080";
else
return "DIRECT";
}
---END PROXY.PAC---
