KeithLDick Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Someone signed up with my Banner Exchange and I was looking through the Banners and the address to the main site and this came up: http://208.126.88.80:5000/hnsbanner.gifI am concerned about the :5000Thanks,Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 The :5000 just tells the browser to connect to their port 5000 rather than the standard port 80. It is likely that this is just someone's home site (as they don't have a domain name) and their ISP blocks traffic on port 80. So to get around this, they have their web server running on port 5000. I went to the site, didn't see anything concerning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
