Re: Running Multiple Windows Services on port 8080

We are using dydns too. We can append the port number, sure. that sucks for 

users though. (thats why we use webhop)maybe we should petition dyndns to 

allow the domains they hand out to be linked to an IPADDRESS:PORT instead of 

just an IP. That would elminate any workarounds like webhop and suffice to 

say solve the port 80 issue with ISP's.

How are you "redirecting" to the IP address? I used to use dyndns.com
for my subdomain name, and I was able to append the port number with
no problem. E.g., my subdomain was something like bmearns.homeip.net,
so I just went to http://bmearns.homeip.net:8080.

Do you not want users to see your IP address for security reasons? Or
just because it's ugly and utterly forgettable? If it's for security
reasons, and they're connecting directly to your site through the
domain forwarding (i.e., not through a proxy), then they should be
able to get your IP address anyway with a DNS lookup.

John,

We too are limited to port 8080. since our ISP blocks port 80. Have you
ever found a work around for this? We currently have to have our domain

[sub.domain.com] redirect to 72.x.x.x.:8080 in order for it to work. 

Now

users see the ip address in the browser address bar. not good. not good 

at

all.
