I have a westell 2200 modem and I have been trying to get a website working on my computer for a long time now. My modem is a "dsl router" which means i have to forward ports. I have tried apache, which uses port 80 by default. I tried to forward port 80 on my modem and everything was fine. (They have a section called "Services" where you forward ports, and they have a few pre defined ports for basic "services" such as port 80, so i used that).I looked up my ip address and tried going to it. I got a page cannot be displayed page. So i checked over the ports, and everything seemed fine as before. I try going to 127.0.0.1 and it opens an apache page so it wasnt my software. So i said to myself "Maybe i need to try another port". I did just that, with port 81. I forwarded it, and downloaded Abyss Webserver which has a more userfriendly interface. I changes the abyss port to 81. I rechecked that i forwarded port 81. I tried going to my ip using port 81, page cannot be displayed again. So i go to 127.0.0.1:81 and once again, it works. I ran one of those internet tests which shows you what ports you have open, and I had like 4 ports open. I tried every single one of those and none worked. When i try openeing it with IE it says page cannot be displayed, but when i try firefox i get a connection refused error. A westell 2200 modem is built for security i guess. I ran that open port test on dslreports.com and got a perfect score (meaning im pretty much safe from hackers). Changing modems is also out of the picture. So if anyone has any suggestions or ideas, please help me out.
