| 580350 | 2007-08-13 07:07:00 | just a quick question with those who are with xnet has anyone tried running a http server or ftp server while with xnet? or used vnc remotely? I'm sure I've forwarded the ports required correctly, and those settings worked when I was with another ISP xnet does allow this right? I can't find anywhere that says you can do this.. so if anyone got this to work.. I better play around with my settings again.. |

| 580351 | 2007-08-13 07:11:00 | I'm with Xnet and have remote access setup via SSL, VPN & VNC and they all work fine. I can access my network from anywhere. I haven't tried FTP or HTTP but I'm sure they would work too. |

| 580353 | 2007-08-13 14:23:00 | Xnet don't allow you to run public servers - it's in the contract for getting a static IP, and if I recall correctly they block the significant ports for dynamic IPs - certainly they block at least port 25. That said, they were pretty nice about letting me run servers on those ports for private use - gave me a static IP and said they'd let me run pretty much anything I wanted, as long as it was for me rather than for the world. I currently run servers on port 22 (ssh), 25 (smtp), 110 (openvpn) and 143 (imap). I also run an ipsec vpn with Dannz. |

| 580354 | 2007-08-14 03:56:00 | I'm getting connection refused on when I try to connect through ssh remotely so looks like I need to ask them to open it? I know about port 25 from t&c but no other ports were mentioned ping and tracerout works though.. at least I know I can sorta reach my computer |

| 580355 | 2007-08-14 04:32:00 | You shouldn't have any problems with SSH. I can access my server via SSH over the internet. I am with xnet, and have a dynamic IP addres. (I use a dynamic DNS service). Heck, I can even access it from the computers at uni... |
