</div>Bear in mind that portscanners are out there looking for webservers on<br>
port 80, so the likelyhood of someone coming across this is actually<br>
pretty high. You might want to consider putting a password on your<br>
webserver.<br>

<a href="mailto:jason0x21@gmail.com">jason0x21@gmail.com</a></font></blockquote><div><br>Another method is to forward a different port to local port 80, say external:7654-><a href="http://192.168.0.4:80">192.168.0.4:80</a>. This is the method I use and haven't seen any unauthorized access (I also use a password, don't use this as your only security!). This will also defeat any port blocking on port 80 that your ISP may be implementing. Of course your router must support this kind of forwarding, I use dd-wrt and it works a treat.<br>
