[NCLUG] A question about a web server and broadband.

[bmc]

  So here I am again asking more silly question but I simply have to take advantage of this very broad knowledge base that is NCLUG. 

I use cable as my primary access at home. And if you have cable then you know that they block ports, such as port 80 and 21 etc etc. 

My question is can I run a server on another port? I have a router that will forward ports to a specific machine and I really only wnat to do this as a test. I'm not asking for all the specifics of setting up a server on a different port but I'd just like to know if it can be done when in a situation like this. 

I also realize that I would probably have to type the port in to the address ie www.mylinuxserver.com :8088 but with AT&T blocking 80 is it possible?
