Go to the following link. This is just an example on how to forward ports for limewire. Use the same steps to forward port 80.

http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/2wire/2701HG-B/Limewire.htm

If it still doesnt work, try updading the firmware. In case this fails, then we have some issue with the router

Help: Huawei EchoLife HG8245: Port 80 Not Open

Well there is NO need to go live. this is a simple matter your ISP is Blocking Port 80 for whatever reason and there is probally nothing that can be done besides get a new ISP one that does not block port 80..

You can try giving them a call or check their website and see if the Block port 80 as ALL the other Ports you Forwarded are Open.. I am Highly leaning to your ISP as the culprit..

Hi. i have modem wireless model 2wire 2701 to use wth primus, i can connect to net but the probleme everytime i go to surf in net the page goes to bell, asking name user nd passeword to continue to surf....

I assume bell is your old ISP, and primus is your new ISP.
Also i assume your wireless modem is not provided by bell.

If you are getting the login page of your old ISP (bell) it seems your bell LAN cable is still connected to your modem. If you are 100% that only primus is the only connected to your modem.
Try to run disk cleanup and remove all the temporary files in your computer.

I have a zyxel p600 series modem connected to a Belkin wireless router. I am trying to run a web server on port 80. The modem was using port 80 for access to the internal settings. I changed that to...

Your setup looks correct to me. It might very well be that your ISP is blocking port 80. Go here and check from your server if port 80 is accessible.

If you are the only one that wants to connect to you server, you can simply choose another port to use, i.e. www.myserver.com:801. Set port forwarding form port 80 to 801 in your router.
TCP&UDP - from 801 - to 80 - [serverIP] - [Webserver]

The better way is to use a service like DynDNS.com or No-IP.com. You can register a DNS name (like myserver.dyn.com), which redirects to your public IP. The trick is to update your IP address, so even if you have a dynamic IP assigned from your ISP, the redirect will point always to your server. Most routers have the ability to set up with DynDNS, so the process runs in the background and you don't have to update manually - check your router manual.

The second part of this beauty is the redirect to a different port. So even if your port 80 (and 25 for that matter) are blocked, you don't have to have an arbitrary number in your URL (http;//myserver.com:801). You can find more detailed information here.

For a quick check, change your webserver to run on port 801, enter the redirect in your router and see if you can get to your server from the outside (internet). If you still can't access the webserver, the problem is not a blocked port.

Hope this helps, but if you have any more questions, just come back here and leave a comment - I'm happy to help you figuring this out.

How do i install ip cameras so that i can see them over the internet? I have a dvr connected to my 2wire modem and I do have static ips

You need to find out what ports your ip cameras use, and then setup port forwarding on your router. If you have 1 box that controls all the cameras, you just need to forward port 80 traffic to that box. If you have multiple cameras with NO main junction box, you will need to go into the setup on each camera, and specify a port to use.
Then in the router, set up port forwarding to forward each different port, to the camera it goes with. Then when you want to see the camera from home you would type the ip address in the browser, then a colon, then the port number --> IPADDRESS:81

I have a 2wire 2701 hg-b modem,it wont let me get on the internet,it says that tcp port 80 wont let it get on,something with the firewall?is there any way i can get around this and get online?

Try restoring it to factory defaults and start again with securing your network, document every change you make that way you can come back to it and see what change you made that might be affecting your internet access

Trying to access cameras at my location

Contact your ISP. It is likely that they are blocking outgoing traffic on port 80. Most ISPs do not want their customers serving anything as it takes up more bandwidth.

Blocking modem from receiving movie down loads

I think you mean the 2wire 2701 Rev A with white front and gray sides? If so there isn't a way in the router to generically disable all movie and music downloads, but if what you mean is that you want to block torrent or p2p downloads from a know client you can do that very easily by simply blocking the port in the firewall on either the router or the operating system.
