Basic Web Usage

I would like to use python (CherryPy) to provide customers
with
updates on their job status.

I wish to write a python program using CherryPy to respond
to their
requests.

My problem is that I have a DSL line and modem and dynamic
IP address.
For the moment I would just like to get access to my program
from the
web.

How do I get access from outside my internal network? I used
a web
site to get my current IP address (also visible on my
firewall) but
when I type http://IP:8080 I
get problem loading page message.

I know this is basic stuff - but any help would be
appreciated.

(I already use a web hosting service for my company web
site, but have
no idea how to use CherryPy or even python on their server
so would
prefer to use a PC solely for this purpose).

Is there a router in between you and your DSL modem?  If so,
then you
need to configure the router to pass port 8080 traffic in to
your PC's
internal address.  It's probably configured to pass only a
few ports
through to the inside.

Note, however, that some DSL providers have explicit
provisions in their
service agreements that prohibit you from running public
servers of any
kind.

You probably have a firewall builtin to a DSL router that is
blocking
the port.  If that is the case, you also probably have a
separate
internal IP address for your PC.  You will need to
"map" the port on
your firewall that you want to handle web traffic to your
internal
IP:port combination.

I would suggest looking in your ISP's knowledge base or FAQ
to see how
to do this, or consult your router's documentation.

Best of luck,

DynDns.org also has some good documentation on using their
service and
keeping you IP address up to date with some domain name. It
also goes
over how to do the port forwarding as mentioned before.

HTH,

Thank you for those replies. If I cannot get this to work I
will get
someone who can.

I am looking forward to using CherryPy and developing web
based
applications both for internal use and for customer access
to their
job status.
