Hmmm... I may be mistaken, but if your browser defaults to sending the
request to [ipaddress]:80, and Cox blocks port 80, then won't your =
request
get blocked?

Just curious.

If you change the port that the Apache Web Server uses to 8090 then the =
url
to get to your server would be: http://www.yoursite.com:8090 If you =
don't
like making everyone include the port number in the url then that can be
avoided by using ZoneEdit. ZoneEdit (www.zoneedit.com) provides a web
forwarding service that will allow visitors to access your site by using
www.yoursite.com. ZoneEdit will forward all web hits for =
www.yoursite.com to
www.yoursite.com:8090. For this to work, you must own the domain name
yoursite.com. ZoneEdit's forwarding service is free if your web-site =
does
not have much activity.
