Ports on homehub

TechDelma — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 15:23:43 GMT

Newbie here- so please bear with me! We have a simple network set up (No domain names), linked to the BT Home Hub. We have a website hosted on a server, and I've opened up port 80 on this server, and this works fine. The website is accessed using the external IP address of the hub. I have another server, with some web services running on it, attached to a different port. I want to run a GPRS listen on the first server, but this also uses port 80. I'm assuming there is going to be a conflict. I can't assign the same port number to more than one server. How can I get over this? Cheers

Hi TechDelma,

To get round this you will need to have a range of public static IP's for your broadband connection, and assign each server a different IP from the range. This will allow you to open up port 80 for both servers.

I assume I can request these from BT business?

Hi TechDelma,

To order static IP's, if you go to http://myoffice.bt.com click on " manage services “, then login with your primary @btconnect.com email address,. Once on the new page, in the your account section click on “connection settings” this will load a new window. In the new window click "change" beside IP addressing. This will take you through the order process for static IP’s.
