How to bypass a blocked port::80
I'm trying to run a simple web page from my home computer. I'm running tinyweb server (I tried other server software too), but none worked until I found out that my ISP is blocking all ports below 1024.
I'm trying to run a simple web page from my home computer. I'm running tinyweb server (I tried other server software too), but none worked until I found out that my ISP is blocking all ports below 1024. My previous ISP didn't do that, but I'm out of college so no way of getting it back. Changing the ISP is also no option cos there is only one ISP in our cable network.
I'm curently running my test page on port 8080 an alernative HTTP port http://tomay.no-ip.com:8080/ it loads without a problem, but if I just enter http://tomay.no-ip.com it times out.
Is there a way to bypass this blocking?
Please help!

I do believe this is by design as a web browser will expect the pages to be served on port 80 by default. The only way I know how to access web pages on some other port is to use the 
ortnumber after the URL.
Using a router wouldn't help here as your ISP will drop *all* packets with a port request under 1024

No-ip.com can sort this out for you. There is a small guide here to show you how to do it.

Run your webserver on port 8080 or something if you don't want to use another service.
People would just have to do http://blah.com:8080 to get to it. Any of the other services would require you do to the same thing, they would just redirect port 80 to port 8080 for example on your home machine.
