asked on web server at home
I use verizon fios and want to set up web server at home. I have a domain that a record to my home router IP but it is pointing to the verzion admin login webpage. I done some research and look like verizion blocks port 80 for residential use.
Just want to find out anyway I can still do it. I want to host a few website for fun.
Thanks

Mahesh, that's not his issue at all.
His problem isn't that he has a dynamic IP address. Re-read the question.

oh ok, so he already made a record to point to home pc, may be router is blocking all the ports so he cant host the site?
I think he has the router's external management feature(enabling router management from the WAN) turned on, so port 80 is being intercepted by the router rather than forwarded to the server.
If you're just playing around, try setting up your site on port 81. Many home ISPs block port 80 to keep home users (who are paying home, rather than business, rates) from running web servers at home. You'll need to forward port 81 in your router to your actual server if you want to do that.

Use this link. If you have version 7 of IIS, skip to the last "how to".

It's intercepting everything at port 80.
If you can provide the make and model # of the router, it might be possible to provide more precise directions for doing this.
