| I just installed Apache on my home computer running Windows XP home
and pointed the document root to my web files directory.
Problem: If I enter my local IP address into my browser (i.e.,
192.168.1.130) the server works and my web page is displayed. I'm on
a local LAN connected to the internet through a router and cable
modem. If I enter the IP address of the router (which makes my
computer visible to the internet) (i.e., 69.27.18.212) I get the old
microsoft "page cannot be found" error message.
A little about my configuration:
Initial settings (didn't work):
ZoneAlarm set to allow Apache to do what it wants
Router set to forward incomming traffic on port 80 to my
computer's local IP address.
change #1 (didn't work):
Router placed in DMZ mode allowing all traffic to be directed
to my computer
change #2 (didn't work):
Shutdown ZoneAlarm
With the firewall in Windows disabled, Zonealarm disabled, and the
router sending ALL traffic to my computer, I don't understand why it's
not working. Is there a directive I missed that's getting in the way?
I have an FTP server running that works just fine under the initial
settings (FTP server can do what it wants, and port 21 is forwarded to
my computer. I can access the FTP server from either a local IP
address or the router's IP address.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance,
Steve

Set IE to use your ISP's proxy and try again ...
.... many routers do not route back into the LAN.
Next, try changing to port 8080, as quite a few ISPs block traffic towards
your port 80.

Thanks for the help...I tried all you said...nothing worked. I
finally found the problem and am feeling rather stupid at this point.
My son plays Age of Empires over the network. One of the ports that
must be forwarded for that game to work is 80 to his computer. I had
already forwarded it to his computer and that setting was taking
presidence over the forwarding of port 80 to mine.
I really appreciate the help...sorry for over looking that situation.
