Thank you very much for offer to help us test our connection.. We4ll send you the connection information in a private email.
We downloaded and installed apache on the machine and were able to connect to it from another machine on the internet, so it appears that the machine is able to make some connections at least. I downloaded another telnet program (CRT) hoping that it would give us a better error message than the telnet.exe that comes with windows but all it reports is that the connection timed out. As you can tell, it seems like we have tried everything we can think of to get this working but have come up with nothing so far. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome! ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Ossmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 11:20 AM Subject: Re: Problems connecting through internet > On Fri, Jan 18, 2002 at 08:35:06AM -0600, Hotel Puesta del Sol wrote: > > > > We are using the same Internet provider for both machines and verified with > > the ISP that they are not blocking any ports.
