Post by thread:[EE]you can build & host your own web at home,with

I'm running Fedora 4 on a server (upgrading to 7 soon) and pretty much using it to learn linux. I'm running sendmail and sending and receiving mail on port 25. I send outgoing mail through my isp's mail server since a lot of other systems block email directly from my DSL. My DSL provider lets me run pretty much whatever I want and does not block any ports. I'm also running SquirrelMail for web mail, which I use most of the time. If I want to review email offline, I use whatever the mail client is with Fedora 7 in my laptop. I have a VERY SIMPLE script that sets up an ssh tunnel to the server to get and send the mail from that client. Also running Apache and virtual hosting a half dozen domains. Also running pppd (or whatever it is, I haven't looked at it since I set it up) so I can plug my laptop into my cellphone, then call the server modem and be on the net. The web server is running Gallery 2, which sets up separate photo galleries for each domain. Also running phpwiki on a couple sites. Using the Thunderstone search engine. Great hobby! I'm learning, but definitely do not know enough to be a systems administrator. I can keep my own system running, though!

If you can't do this, the better option (IMHO) is a secure VPN (virtual private network) which bridges (tunnels) your LAN through the internet to your remote computer. Depending on what your NAT router is, it might have VPN features. -- Martin K

True and not True. More people come to my site might bring more sales. Ture. The thing not Ture is: There are points that people should think about and ask questions, for instance: 1. How to setup router for FTP/Web/Email servers if more than one machine at home. Even though you got server running, you still need client machine for other staff/users. 2. How to use free DNS if IP get constant change (for DSL and Cable internet) and avoid the Dynamic name service annual fee. 3. How to host multiple web sites. 4. How to setup the email server. The reason I used [EE] is because I cannot figure out a better name. I might be stupid. Let me know what you think. My name is Funny NYPD, never figure out how to change that on my yahoo account without help. Funny NYPD {Original Message removed}

OpenSSH and COPssh both work fine on windows.

I doubt they'll let you run servers. Cable Modems have very restricted upstream bandwidth. It's good for the occasional email and mouse click, but when a bunch of people start running servers, they get rather upset. Thanks for the comment!

A good test of their customer support team might be to time how long it takes for them to update this on their web site following a call/email about it to customer service. Any volunteers to implement the test? -- Alan
