RE: httpd.conf
Turns out my ISP blocks traffic on port 80 (internet -> subscribers). I
switched to run on port 8000
and worked like a champ.
thanks,
Guy

Can you access the site properly from inside the firewall? If so, it is
almost certainly a firewall configuration problem.

In general Apache doesn't need to know anything about your IP address or
hostname. The only exceptions are if you are running virtual hosts, and the
ServerName directive. To assure that the ServerName directive is not
causing you problems, I suggest setting "UseCanonicalName Off". See the
docs for a description of what this does. Also make sure you aren't using
any BindAddress or Listen directives to restrict the IP addresses that
Apache is listening to.
