I know whatever way I word this I am going to sound like a complete newbie b
ut I'm sure I 've missed something small so here goes.

I have registered a domain name, have the name pointing to DNS (Zone edit) a
nd have configured the DNS to point to my static IP (not network IP).  I've 
tried to access the site and seme to be getting only the router admin page (
which, by the way, is a dlink dsl G604T).  My Web server is an XP machine wi
th Apache server running basic php scripts and mysql.  (I know, I know the b
ig question why?? - familiar micro$oft environment).  Anyway, I've forwarded
 both port 80 and 443 to the internal network address of the web server and 
then run through Shields Up! to check if port 80 is open, no such luck!  The
 port is being recgnised but jsut not open.  I did have Windows firewall run
ning but have since disabled it along with Norton AntiVirus (just in case th
e requests resembled some sort of worm)

I ran through Shields Up! again and still no joy.  I have Apache configured 
to listen on port 80.  Apache version is 1.3.33, php version 4.3.10, mysql v
ersion 4.1.9 and MyPHPAdmin version 2.6.1.  Any suggestions or help would be
 great.  I can give you site details in PM.  

Thanks in Advance, Grant

Edit:  I have tried to access the domain from outside of the network using a
 program called "Sam Spade:.  Here's the results of the request.

I dont understand the socket error.  Is this related to SOCKS??

OK, downloaded a new package called Xampp with Apache 2.2.  Seems there was 
something wrong with 1.3 or the config script.  Have gone through and checke
d now that ports 80 and 443 are open and are being forwarded by the router (
dlink G604T) .  Xampp did an automatic config of the httpd.conf file.  Attac
hed is its version of the file.  Cna someone please tell me what the hell I 
am doing wrong.  I can navigate to the localhost and typing in my LAN ip wil
l also give me the desired result but from outside the LAN I still get nothi
ng.  Please HELP.
