[Xitami] Windows client: opening non-standard ports

[Marc Doigny]

Hello

I have no problem connecting to my server running on any port using windows 
98 with its supplied Internet explorer.
The server is running fine for years now. Our corporate ISP only allows for 
10 MB of webspace, so i place some material on our local server.
The standard port 80 is already in use and i have to use an alternate port. 
119 is available.
However, more and more customers are switching to XP or upgrading their web 
client, and they can't access our server anymore. (The redirection is done 
at our ISP, so users don't have to type port numbers).
More comments inside your mail.

Marc

Redirection to a back up server with dynamic ip (and again, no standard port).
