RoadRunner and servers

I'm fairly certain they don't allow it on residential accounts. And their operations folks in long held areas are really on the ball and usually spot such things.

They don't on residential-class accounts and have ports blocked to keep you from operating most any server you'd want to set up.

Well, this guy does it from his residential account, on port 8000 (the port where most MP3 stream servers operate on).

Of course, when I was in college years ago, I operated a web server from my then @Home account, as part of a class assignment to build a Windows NT server, and put up a Web page on the server, and I never heard anything from @Home about it, when I did this. We basically had to check out a hard disk with NT4.0 on it, insert that into our home computers, and set up a live NT4 server, complete with Web page. I know that I never heard anything from Comcast @Home about it when I did this in the year 2001. Of course, my server did not operate on port 80, either, which is probably why I was able to do it, without being nailed by @Home when I did this.

Why is someone posting from Comcast advising others about the practices of Time Warner's Road Runner??????????

I had TWC for years and while I can't speak for certain about port

There are NO blocked ports on RR in San Diego. OR any other RR area I know of.
