Who "they"? Your Internet Service Provider?
If your ISP don't allow webservers to be run on your account, _NO_ server 
will be allowed.
Generally, most ISP blocks ports below 1024 to prohibit residential users 
running servers on their local lines (and to prevent some nasty port scans 
-windows has lots of ports open to all sort of threats and unfriendly attacks)
.
You can change the port (try any port above 1024).
Change the config file "default.aut" to contain a line
[Server]
     Portbase=20720

(or any other value).
In this example, the http port will be shifted from 20720 + 80 to 20800

Access your page with http://mysite.com:20800

Look at http://web.verfaillie.be?webserver
(using redirect to a site whose access is "blocked" by the provider)
