domain/IP + server problem

[Paul Welty]

Ken,

Thank very much for your reply and the suggestion.

I should say first of all that I have no idea how to get the port 
forwarded. I remember Frontier doing this once automatically 
when I re-did the setup, but I can't figure out how to get it to do it 
again (save reinstalling).

But, I tried to test this by going to port 8080. If the domain is 
working (I checked again using FileMaker on port 81), should I get 
something at 8080? Well, I didn't. Same problem, viz. browser just 
sits there and eventually times out.

So, one the one hand it might not be port forwarding and on the 
other hand I don't know how to fix it if it is.

Might someone have another idea? :)

Paul
