[users@httpd] public server

[Daniel Marques <de...@gmail.com>]

Hi everybody,

I have a simple question (I think):

I've got the apache 2.2 running on my computer, I know my IP at the moment
(by www.whatismyip.com) and I was trying to access my server, like this:
http:\\201.18.148.4:80, from another computer on the internet. And it
doesn't work. Later, I tried the tomcat, like this:
http:\\201.18.148.4:8080, and nothing happens as well.

Am I doing anything wrong? How can I make my server visible to the world? Do
I need a real IP (buy one), or my dynamic IP can do it just fine?

Thank you in advance.

Generally you want forward slashes. You don't need the port if it's 
80, as that's what the default is.

Can you access http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 on your computer?

I get no answer on port 80 on the IP you gave.

So, it's possible apache ISN'T running.

Port 80 isn't forwarded if you're behind a NAT gateway.

What O/S?

Are you behind a NAT router?
