Sky Broadband

Hi Guys

I have happily run my AWS sites on a number of ISP's, mainly NTL/Virgin, a few others such as adsl from FREEOLA, but in a bid to save money I have recently switched to sky bb.

Since doing so, any attempt to reach my sites has been met with a new sky router request for username and pass (admin, sky) but it seems to me my sky router is blocking my server traffic.

Does anyone have a difinitive answer to this before I kick up a stink?

Cheers
Paul

Is your router the Netgear DG834GT?

I'm guessing the problem may be remote management. Check your router settings to see if remote management is turned on for port 80. If it is, that's your problem. Turn it off or change the port.

If that doesn't solve it, try running your site on port 100. Then go to http://your-wan-ip-address:100

See if your site comes up.

Bad move switching to Sky if you wanted to host sites. They have low traffic limits and I don't think they like hosting either.

You will have to disable the remote management feature in the router, or, move it to a port you don't use for hosting.

Also make sure the router allows loopback otherwise you may keep getting the login. Check with a friend or use a proxy like proxify to check if it really is online.

Paul, your website is unfortunately offline.
Is your IP 90.194.14.115? That's the IP your domain points to.

When you get it running again, go ahead and register your Abyss site at http://abyss-websites.com/add Thanks!

Yes that's my IP, it should be serving viahome.co.uk.

Having a peek in the setting before I had to rush to work this morning and it look like remote management is switched off and assigned to port 8080 which I changed to 8088 for good measure.

It's is one of the new Netgear GT's with 108mb wireless, I think theres a loop problem that must be staring me in the face, I'll take another look tonight . Thanks for your assistance with this.

So I've part solved this, gave my server a static IP and registered it onthe router then redirected port 80 to the server that seems to have worked for internet traffic as I can see my site using proxify.

Still doesn't work internally, but I can live with that for now.

Thanks Aprelium that did the trick!

I was unsure at first but I had forgotten to reboot and it appears the changes were not read until that point.
