You find a providor, like the most excellent http://www.dyndns.org, and read their documentation, which should give you a clear idea. The short of it is, you sign up with them (they have a free service as well as for-pay services), you download some piece of software, you tell the software what your username/password is for the service, and it takes care of the rest. Or, if you want to do things the easy way (and perhaps even more secure, if you're not familiar with fine-tuning firewalls and such) is to go get a router/firewall appliance; The netgear home cable/dsl router I just installed for a friend has possibly the coolest setup procedure ever -plug it in, connect, tell it to detect all your cable/dsl settings, give it your dyndns info (it handles that for you!), and punch the proper holes in the firewall (port 80, whatever), and be done with it forever more. > > > > On Sat, 2003-10-11 at 17:53, Amit Bapat wrote: > > no verizon DSL doesn't block port 80 AFAIK. > > I have a web-server running on my home machine and people from outside > > CAN connect to it... > > I have been a Verizon DSL customer for over year now. > > I have the regular residential DSL account > > > > check your DNS entries... you have to use a dynamic DNS because Verizon > > residential DSL only supports dhcp clients.
