configure apache2 so that it can be accessed from the internet

i'm running .*apache2* on WindowsXP. it works fine from within the
*local network*(http://localhost or http://192.168.0.1 etc). when i
connect to the internet and access the apache2 server with the ip
address provided by the ISP, then also it works fine. but when i give
that same ip address provided by the ISP to others, they are not able
to access my apache2 server. please help me out in configuring the
server.

look for a line near the beginning of the config file with the word
"listen"...see if you're locking it down to your machine only

It sounds like your provider is blocking port 80 (quite common in
dial-up or 'home' contract). Check your T&C.

Could also be a firewall doing the same. Do you have one?

Or a router, not doing the port forwarding.

Hi all,

I have apache 1.3.26 compiled with mod_perl, mysql and ssl.
Now I want to add php to it, yet mod_so doesn't seem to be compiled.

Is there a way to update apache for mod_so, without having to go through
the pain of compiling everything again?

The firewall would block also the access from the localnetwork.

If he is accessing the machine using the external IP and it works
there is no router doing NAT or port forwarding.

Not necessarily. I think the new Windows firewall has different rules for
local and remote access. Others probably have this too.

I have seen advertised a feature where the router with IP a.b.c.d will
mirror packets sent to its own IP from the local network back to that
network, as if they were from a true remote host. I don't know how this
works, or if it works, or if it bypasses the port forwarding of the router.

I'm running Apche 2 on a Win Server 2003.
Works fine from the my local network, works fine from any computer outside,
but doesn't work when i call from my local network the outside address.
Maybe the router/NAT gets confused, or the DNS-server (I would when someone
asked me from 1.2.3.4 "what's the address from 1.2.3.4?). ;-)
