Port Forwarding

by michael34 . Updated 22 years, 10 months ago

Hello

My question is, I have a friend who is his a reseller on web hosting companies and he is attempting to use some mail programs he has installed, however the problem he has is somewhere along the line port 80 is blocked.

He has VOL, and that they might have port 80 blocked and how do you think we should get around it?

Any clues on how to get around a port block? We have routers and have attempted to use forwarding but it don’t work. We can however conenct if we use Port 8100

For exsample we cannot connect to this site:
http://mail.domainname.com

But can connect to this one
http://mail.domainname.com:8100

Basically we are wanting people to connect to the one with the 8100, but without the numbers after it, just the domain name, but it appears blocked if we do. Any help?
