I run a small weather station that acts as a web server. Recently it's
become impossible to access it via the web, though I can still access it
over my local network. Some details:
* My ISP is AT&T using their Uverse service.
* The server was accessible from the web a month or so ago.
* The server has web address
oaklandweather.no-ip.org, which
currently resolves to 99.121.57.131, and probably will for some
time.
* I can ping the server either over the LAN or via the web without
trouble.
* An attempt to connect to the weather station as a web server
(HTTP) times out.
I'm pretty sure that the Uverse gateway is set up correctly: It worked
properly in the past and I haven't made any changes to it. An
inspection of the settings doesn't show anything obviously wrong.
Has AT&T changed its terms of service? I vaguely remember the terms of
service don't allow customers to run servers; but I can't find any such
restriction in documents available on the web. Also the (AT&T supplied)
gateway has a function to explicitly open a "pinhole" allowing HTTP
service from a computer on the customer side of the gateway.
