Anyone in UK on NTL with a dynamic ip broadband connection, that has managed to set their PC up as a server? I know they only reset the IP address every 3 months or so, but I have tried settting up Apache as a server and failed miserably......

Any thoughts....?

P.S. - Running Win XP

Does the contract allow it? Usually broadband providers don't as it uses too much resources. (says he with a server on a bb connection )

ntl ip's last longer than 3months. mine lasted 10months

you can use port 80 as a web server. im running one right now, same with ftp and a few other things.

p.s. make sure you allow any firewall to open port 80 if apache is setup and running.

ntl never do anything, unless you do email spamming.

Are you using Apache then? I could only get the original verion of Apache to run on XP, Version 2.0 wouldn't for some reason. I set everything up and it worked on my PC, but one a friends PC it said it could not view the web page.

yep i use apache 2.x with port 80 forwarded on my router.
i dunno if you can do a port 80 on a normal firewall.

but im sure if the router can let you forward port 80, the firewall will.
