[users@httpd] Can not access Apache server from local network.

Hello –
I have installed Apache 2.2 on a Linux box on my home network
(192.168.1.105).  When I open a browser on the Linux box and enter
http://192.168.1.105 <http://192.168.1.105/>  I get the expected “It Works”
page.  However when I try to access the Web Server from another PC’s Browser
(192.168.1.100) I get “Operation timed out”.  I can ping the Linux box from
the PC and vice versa.  Have a I missed something in the Apache
configuration that is preventing access ?
Thanks in Advance for any help.
Steve M

"Operation timed out" often means a firewall is blocking the connection.
Make sure the firewall on the server allows incoming connections to port
80.

I found the problem – the built in Linux firewall was blocking HTTP -
Thanks
