[AuckLUG] Dynamic IP Address XTRA

[Balaji VP]

If you wanted to open the port on the modem, you can have a look at the
www.portforward.com, This website have got huge number of ADSL modem
available on the market. Even the website give your step by setup
instructions.  Well regarding port 80 blocking. Xtra Blocks only Port 25
even that to stop the spammer. You can apply to opt port 25 online on the
Xtra website on www.xtra.co.nz/port25.

Hope this helps.
