Setting self hosting at home & related horrorsssss - 2 - A dead end for now!

So, the horror stood me up on my path and left me astray. Finally 2 weeks ago, I gave up all the hope of self-hosting from my home.

Chasers upon chasers, static IP always routing through to sub-router and the NOC team were never able to solve it.

That shows, what level of study they did and what level of knowledge I have. I was guiding them the whole time and explaining to them why something was happening.

So, my local ISP did give me a static IP, however, for reasons they were never able to find, the IP was routing to the middle router and not opening up WWW for me. No amount of port forwarding, or for that matter no amount of headaches made it any simpler, or was even able to resolve it.

The only time it would open up was when it was on Dial-UP or ADSL mode (direct PPPoE) and not via router PPPoE, MSDL, or even Wi-Fi Route.

I and one of the local team member banged our heads for almost 3-4 weeks (and you know, hardly anyone works after 6PM, or that the tea breaks are for 1 hour and lunch breaks are for 2 hours). I have my office work too, and blah blah blah...

Anyways, after going over so many trial-error methods (almost 12-15 times we tried in various manners), that the local guy gave up and me too started trending for me.

So, the part of all this brick in the wall is: My Self-Hosting can only work, or let me put it this way, can only be tried again if I meet at least the below stated criteria:

*New ISP, probably some company that has a better NOC team members *New Laptop (my current one is a mess, and may go dead any day now) *Rather, a desktop, which can be a better choice (my first ever was an assembled one, and I still have few things from that desktop) *Money.... The biggest trouble for me since ages. Taxes are eating up most of my income and I am not getting any younger anyways...

Anyways, Adios on this one for now!!!
