+
+ <p>There are many possible reasons for this, and almost all
+ of them are related to the configuration of your network, not
+ the configuration of the Apache HTTP Server. One of the most
+ common problems is that a firewall blocks access to the
+ default HTTP port 80. In particular, many consumer ISPs
+ block access to this port. You can see if this is the case
+ by changing any <code>Port</code> and <code>Listen</code>
+ directives in <code>httpd.conf</code> to use port 8000 and
+ then request your site using
+ <code>http://yourhost.example.com:8000/</code>. (Of course,
+ a very restrictive firewall may block this port as well.)</p>
