httpd.conf - Help Required by Apache Newcomer

I am very new to Apache and I am having problems viewing any pages on
clients, although the pages view fine on the Apache machine. I have
made changes in the httpd.conf file and given it a ServerName of an
internal IP address. Are there any other settings I need to change to
get it working. I know this is probably a simple question to all of
you but I am very new to Apache.

Please help us help you by providing a little more information.
.... having problems ... is not enough.

How do you try to view pages fom the clients?

My crystal ball tells me that you want to use the servername instead of
the ip address you need to provide proper name resolution.
If you have only few clients you can do so by adding a line to the
/etc/hosts in unix or the counterpart on windows (c:\winnt\hosts I think)

If I understand you right, you can view the page on the localhost, but not via the www?

I don't know if you are using some kind of modem, but a lot of them need a NAPT setting to let them talk
to thew outside.

A nice site to chek if your site can be seen by the outside world is:
