adelphia blocking www

[Charles Rishel]

Actually.. the rule  you put in won't work.. you are trying to redirect 
port 80 incoming on your router and then forwarding it to port 6000 on your 
personal server.
As the incoming traffic CANNOT hit port 80 on the router.. that rule does 
you no good.  You would have to run your webserver on a different port than 
normal, and then include that information in the URL for people.

I am not sure if you can use the port information on a fully qualified 
domain name.. but I do know for fact that if your port forwarding is setup 
properly.. you can redirect to your server by ip address and port number.. 
such as
http://24.48.x.x:1080   ..where port 1080 is listening on the router.. and 
redirecting to whatever port you designated your server software to listen 
to.  I would think unless you changed the config's.. your server would 
still be listening on port 80..

Hence..
coyote# ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L `getifaddr eth1` 1080 -R 192.168.0.3 80

At least.. that's how mine works when I actually enable it to be accessible 
from the Inet.

Hope this helps ya.
