Qwest might be blocking port 80 if your hosting on that, I am not sure.

Have you setup port forwarding rules for any other ports?

Thanks for the reply Shane Yes I have port 3389 for remote desktop also which doesn't work at the same time my page doesn't but they have both been working this AM again so far not sure why they are intermittant!!

I had a customer with a Qwest modem, and the port forwarding would sometimes work and other times it wouldn't.

Have you tried power cycling the modem to see if it helps?

Might be a good idea to see if they have a firmware update as well

Also make sure DMZ is off in the modem.

Thanks Again Shane I'll give those a try when it stops again I did do the frimware upgrade when I took it out of the box so that should be good!!

Modems and routers have their own operating system, which is how you get the pages, sometimes it just needs a reboot

Well here we go again My page stopped working Sunday afternoon and it's still down..Shut IIS off and the port checks fine with Simple Port Tester...Not sure whats going on? I also was able to use Remote Desktop for the past few days this is also not working again..Except for inside my network..

Yet the port tester says the port is still open?

If so then it may not be a port forwarding problem after all and we need to try a few tests.

Yes it says it's open when I disable IIS ..I use TZO and they show the correct IP for forwarding also,,,

I dont think it is port forwarding then. My port tester sends a connection from my site to the program, so the connection is making it through.

Let me know when you have it back up and I will try to connect

You mean when the web page is working?? (if it does

)

Shane · « **Reply #13 on:** August 08, 2011, 11:05:37 AM »

Yeah let me know when you have IIS running and on what port and I will connect to your internet IP that shows for me on your post and see if I can get it.

If your using port 80 I am wondering if qwest is blocking the http traffic to it on 80. I know some ISP's block port 80.
