well specifically, port 2082. Its a web based administration system that www.ipowerweb.com provides. Now, i cant access this, i cant do my work. It sux. A port that a tracker site uses (for bittorrent) that i have also currently been experiencing problems with is port 2170. Everything worked fine 2-3 weeks ago.
 
slob, I've emailed your post to myself at work as a reminder and I'll query these ports first thing monday morning and get back to you, but as far as I know 1024 to 65535 is treated like one big hole.

thanks man. i dunno if you want to try from your side right now tho, or anyone else maybe. the server is www.i-roar.com port 2082. so you would type www.i-roar.com:2082 in your browser to access it.

i did a test thru telnet so its not proxies or anything messing with it:

Code: 
slob@gateway|~: telnet www.i-roar.com 80
Trying 207.44.206.36...
Connected to i-roar.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
connects within milliseconds.
Code: 
slob@gateway|~: telnet www.i-roar.com 2082
Trying 207.44.206.36...
sits there till telnet times the connection out.
 
Just went there on MyWireless and got the following:
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">Access Denied

If your browser does not support HTTP Authentication, please use this form:
Username: Password: .<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">

** Edit **
Went there with ADSL also and got exactly the same.

In both cases a Username and Password box popped up on my screen.

i seriously cant understand this. I can connect to ports like 2064 (distributed.net keyservers) now why would i not be able to connect to 2082 or 2170? I'm still positive its not my setup here. i triple checked everything. Can it not be a per-tower thing perhaps?
 
Sounds like a possible spyware/adware/virus issue.

I also got the access denied from ISDN (not mywireless) and thats with a SP2 windows firewall on if that actually means anything.

check if you dont have a P2P app using the port (in stealth mode) or a transparent proxy of sorts somewhere on your LAN. Obviously its not firewalled.

I doubt that it is a per tower thing. It would have been reported by now (by one of us on the forum)
 
wow

i started this thread two days ago and have only logged on again today. very surprised to see that there are a good few who are enjoying their service and that is encouraging. thanx for all those who replied to this topic and to Proasm for clearing up that (scary) port-prioritation rumour.

i think i'll take my chances with Sentech when they arrive in my area. i hope i'll be one of the lucky ones who get good speed!

I access hosting administration interfaces on port 2082 for three different websites and they all work fine. Sentech is definitely not "blocking" port 2082. I can access the site you mention too, it just asks for normal http authentication. Most likely explanation to me seems like a local firewall config problem, or something.

(greedyfly: I doubt that something e.g. p2p app is "using the port" because only the REMOTE port is 2082, when you connect to a site an unused local port number will be assigned for the "local address".) Anyway, you can use "netstat -a | more" to see what is using what ports.

Hmm .. it can't be the remote site blocking the IP either, because all our HTTP traffic is proxied ... or .. hmm .. does the transparent proxy only grab port 80 traffic, and therefore not get used for port 2082 accesses?
 
I figured that but I also dont know exactly how all the p2p apps work and some do some very strange things. It should be using any local random port up to 65536. There must some issue locally since thats at least 3 now that can get on.

Anyone from tower 12 ?
 
There are MANY tower 12's ???

Obviously. But I didnt check in the other topic which tower 12. Somewhere in Jhb. Check the other topic (Prioritisation something something)
 
the only thing i can think of is that its a local tower problem ?:/ I've tried everything. Believe me. Disabled all firewalls, used my old USB cable to connect directly incase it was the gateway, still nothing.

I'm on tower 12 in randburg, jhb.
 
I'm on Mintek (12) and I can get the login page - no problem...has yours gone away yet?

...and Gandalf stared into the distance with a faraway look of gold...
 
So have you tried a windows machine since thats the only difference here since someone else on your tower has confirmed that its not the tower.

Perhaps its the inverse of some of that wifi spray or a fancy new cutting edge quantum leap wireless invisible firewall based on the EMI field around your house. The home scientist next door is experimenting in a port selective firewall over the high frequency range.

Sorry I know I dont mean to make a joke.. I know its a serious situation..[;)]
 
slob, there is noway a Tower can do this.
Towers do not have software intelligence to do this, no servers, no PCs, no nothing.
All there is, is a 3 mbit pipe per user between you and the Server at Sentech Radiokop.
