Apple's probably gonna release the 6th gen iPod to compete with M$.

This morning I was reading a Seattle Times article about a 'tech analyst' called Enderle who reported on Zune and the iTMS-like service that goes with it. Enderle says: Quote: …

Hopefully this will drive Apple's prices down to compete with Microsoft and its competitors. It might also force them to come out with something like the new touch-screen video ip…

MS knows exactly what it's doing. they know, in the short term, they will not knock the ipod out the box; they say they're in it for the long haul (they keep saying this!); thats t…

I don't think we should be laughing at this at all. MS has had a long time to sit and watch who succeeds and who fails. Granted it's been mostly Apple succeeding and everybody else…

Xbox a success?? By what measure?

Sure, we all say: bah, no one else has come close to apple's dominance in the music player and online software, we may even think it a little bit to. But face it, a lot of us are a…

I cant find my notes file for my ipod and i wanted to put new games on my ipod... but for that i need a notes file... is there anyway i can get that file back? cuz i think i might …

Hi all I am trying to use my shiny new Intel iMac as a part-time web server. I couldn't get it to work and finally decided to call my ISP (Telus) to see if they were blocking port…

Common secondary ports are 81 or 8080, that I've seen and used.

Ok I'll give those a try. I know I'm going to need to configure Apache using terminal for the new port but I'm a total terminal newbie. If someone could give me keystroke by keyst…

Why would an ISP block THE PRIMARY WEB PORT? It doesn't make sense to me, unless they want you to use THEIR browser... This is odd as all get out.

It doesn't block outgoing requests only incoming.

Oh. Different issue, obviously. As noted previously, 81 and 8080 are commonly used alternates. There are also some dodges you can use through redirectors. However, if the ISP …

Oh absoulutely. I don't intend to open it to the general public. I only want to be able to access my music using iTunes Catalog at work when I am on midnight shift.

I have given up on this for now. I did manage to get Apache reconfigured to use a different port but no matter which port I choose I still can't see the default Apache web page. I …

Port forwarding is probably not enough. I'd use a DMZ instead; it exposes the computer to the Internet without ANY NAT manipulation. Give that a shot before you give up.

I figured if I played around with routers, firewalls and ports long enough I would have to eventually learn what a DMZ actually is because right now I have no clue lol. But now tha…

A "DMZ" is simply a LAN IP that the router doesn't touch; all traffic to and from it bypasses Network Address Translation, so it's like the machine is connected directly to the Int…

Thanks for all your help ghporter. I'm going to give it a shot setting up the DMZ. I'll report back with the results.

Well I did the DMZ thing and it's still a no go. I don't get stumped too often but I guess I'll have to accept that I won't be able to use my computer as a Web Server in any capaci…

Blocking incoming HTTP requests over 80 is a common thing...and ISPs obviously know that 81 and 8080 are commonly used as alternates, so Telus may be blocking those as well. Try a …
