jamaicarocks Posted January 3, 2006 CID Share Posted January 3, 2006 Wuz up, My website is working fine and everyone around the world can connect but when I try connecting at my office I get page cant be displayed .Seeing that it's this one place that cant see my siite I think it is the router (its a SpeedTouch 510 0346GG) I'm not seeing any firewall or anything to restrict sites. I also use IE so I lowered all the protection and still cant connect ......what could be wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted January 3, 2006 CID Share Posted January 3, 2006 It could be filtered by the IT dept.. not really a mission critical site.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamaicarocks Posted January 3, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 3, 2006 i dont really know where to look for the firewall........... No its just a router going through a switch so no one person has filter or firewall control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted January 3, 2006 CID Share Posted January 3, 2006 If you cant see it then i am wondering if other can see it.. Send me a pm or post the url of the site and we will let you know.. My guess would be that you have the firewall on the host system configured wrong. Otherwise it should work as long as you have the system set up right.

jamaicarocks Posted January 3, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 3, 2006 Yeah everyone else can see it it's just at my office I cant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted January 3, 2006 CID Share Posted January 3, 2006 Have you tried looking at it with firefox? Also if you are on a server try rebooting and not signing in to the server. I can still browse the internet even when not connected to the server and that helps me reach some sites I couldnt normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamaicarocks Posted January 4, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 GOOD idea thanks I'll try it using firefox!! but restart which server....the web server at my house ..cause i'm at the office trying to connect and cant see my website...there is no server at the office THANKS!

jamaicarocks Posted January 4, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 sorry about not mentioning this too.......... but even if this works it will only fix one problem ....seeing that what i really need to do is to VPN or REMOTE DESKTOP to my server and I cant do any of that from work ....I run my own mail server and cant log into it from work either ..others can!!!!!! (what is the possibility that this is an ISP problem with that location only, beacuse I can do all of the above from other locations using the same ISP?? or any suggestions to fix? (As I said I dont see any filters or firewalls in the router interface ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted January 4, 2006 CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 Can you ping your home IP address from work and vice versa? I am guessing not. Who are your home and your work ISP's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted January 4, 2006 CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 Oh sorry I thought you had a server at work... Hummm. So at work you connect directly to the internet with no go between? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jypagan Posted January 4, 2006 CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 what I refer was that sometimes @ work they block certain web, like games chat, jokes, porn, stream videos etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamaicarocks Posted January 4, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 Yes i understand if your like going through another computer or firewall NO i'ts just the router and a switch giving everybody connection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted January 4, 2006 CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 what if the router is blocking certain traffic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted January 4, 2006 CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 Yes i understand if your like going through another computer or firewall NO i'ts just the router and a switch giving everybody connection! I can definately see a router issue with the VPN pass through being disabled for example. Most routers have the option of blocking VPN traffic. But the webpage - are you using port 80 from your home, or do you have it mapped through a different port? If you did not route your webpage through a different port, one that may be blocked by your work router by default, then it should work. Strange. Can you access the admin settings of your work router? edit: Added screenshot from my DI-524. VPN was disabled by default - had to enable to connect to my work.

jamaicarocks Posted January 4, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 No my web page is using port 80 I even thought that my router at work was blocking or filtering certain sites but I'am able to access, any porn site or any other site from work just not mine .. Maybe I can do port forwarding on the router at work for VPN..... but the website issue is killing me(and i work at an I.T firm and nobody knows why...lol..) (possiblity of it being an ISP problem)???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted January 4, 2006 CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 I am wondering if the ISP is blocking traffic on port 80 within their local network, but allowing outbound web traffic. That very well could be them blocking this. How about creating a second connection from home using a different port like 8080 instead of 80. (actually both 80 and 8080 and maybe you could connect thru 8080 from work) and tie both ports to your site. Web site gurus: is it easy enough to do? I have only messed with a Win2000 machine and a personal web site, so not a lot of experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamaicarocks Posted January 4, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 I'll try that but have another website also using port 8080 which is a link on the main website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamaicarocks Posted January 4, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 By the way Im using the same ISP at work at home so I can't see how that could be the problem ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted January 4, 2006 CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 I'll try that but have another website also using port 8080 which is a link on the main website I am looking at my Win2000 machine that I use for FTP; and have experimented with a home based web-site. It looks like I can just add another web to it, and bind it to the old one. So, should be simple. Did you register a domain name or do you just type in the IP address when connecting to your site? Either way, you will probably have to use the IP address and port from work (ex: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080) to connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
