Two applications using the same port

I need to see if they do allow you to connect to my modem i said no before because i think i try once but am not sure. i don't think they do but ill take a look. Optimum online is a cable company by the way.

Didn't try it with Putty i read something about it but like you said its much better with :22

and nope they don't allow me to get into my modem

If you own your modem and there are no legal issues or stuff like that, you could copy the configs some were safe, hardware reset the modem (usually there is a small button for it), and reconfigure again. Not suggesting here that this is easy, but if you are disparate.

ill have to buy one since this one is theirs. i know there are things you can do if you own your own modem i have done it in the past when i had DSL but that wont solve my problem with the web server

I guess ill have to deal with it. lol

Thanks.
