From: Werner Ruotsalainen Werner on 19 May 2010 19:29 BTW, in the meantime, I've played quite a bit with the free (!) Web server ServersMan available at http://serversman.com/promo/promo_wm_en.html . I've found it excellent. If you do enable public Web access (it's disabled by default), it can function as a Web server for anyone. What's better, it does NOT require a direct IP and works even via firewalled connections. A MUST try, I'd say. Note that I could only test it on the iPhone (have left most my WinMo phones at work and it's 1AM here and didn't want to wait until tomorrow with writing this reply); nevertheless, the WinMo version is stated to have the same functionality as that of the iPhone. I can't guarantee this, though. Let me know if you have any problem running it and I'll investigate it too ASAP.

No. Adding a port to the IP is not simple because I screwed it up. Here, I'll show you what I did wrong. If you put this into the address bar of IE 8.0 it will display google's home page 209.85.225.105 But it you put this into the address bar of IE 8.0 it will *not* display google's home page 209.85.225.105:80 What you have to do to get the IP address:port to work is add the http:// to the front of it so the following will display google's home page http://209.85.225.105:80 What that means is when I tried port 30 and when I tried port 8080 they both really worked but I put the IP address:port into the browser wrong. The way I finally figured out the problem was use a port scanner that Werner mentioned two days ago on another thread called vxUtil. So once again thanks Werner. The bottom line is Sprint blocks port 80 on a Static IP address but they do not block ports 30 or 8080 so I can use vxWeb with a Sprint phone but not on port 80.

I ended up buying a copy of vxWeb after I found out that I can use it with the Static IP I have with Sprint as long as I don't try to use it on port 80. Plus, if I use the Sprint network instead of WiFi then vxWeb will run with the screen off.

Works > just great, highly recommended! Cool. That means I could put a link on that website that goes to a website that might be running on my phone. BTW I did some testing this morning and learned "Internet Sharing" does not forward any ports and both PDANet and WMWiFiRouter forward all ports from my phone to a connected device so I could use a laptop or a netbook connected to my phone for as web server. |
