Need port number to run IIS with Verizon DSL

I use Verizon DSL for ISP. I would like to run my IIS, but Verizon
blocks port 80 the default. Can anybody recomend a new port number.

any port they don't block... of course you will have to tell anyone you want
to access it how to do it. and then verizon could just block that port when
they notice the activity. better to contact them and upgrade to an account
that lets you do what you want without violating their terms of service or
bypassing their network setup.

Might be a stupid ?, but doesn't Outlook Express use port 80 to access
Hotmail?

You can use any port number you want to listen on, but clients will
not be able to connect unless they know the port number. If you want
to run a normal web site you will need to get port 80 opened

if it does it is outgoing not incoming. lots of isp's block incoming access
to port 80 on their user's machines to prevent them from running webservers.

It might do that.

However that's outbound not inbound. _ALL_ unsecured web traffic goes out
on port 80, and _IN_ on the end server on port 80.

No, but it's originating on your system and going out, which isn't
blocked. By the way, OE is using port 25 to send mail, 110 to
retrieve it.

just remember, those are the ports on the server that it connects to. it
can be any random port number, usually some high number, that it originates
the connection from on your system.
