It is against the current terms of service (TOS) agreement to run any kind of server. They been blocking port 80 on a case-by-case basis. They also have been removing the DNS entries for some users, so nobody can find your machine except by IP address. But if you haven't done it before, it should work till they catch you. I've been doing it for almost three years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer david at thekramers.net http://thekramers.net DK KD DKK D Shop smart!
