[users@httpd] Post please!
This should be simple. I had a server running fine, but I had to purchase a
router for my network, and now nobody can connect to me. I've tried using
my IP address with the router (192.116.1.100) and my IP address without the
router (68.116.63.162) and neither work with my router. How can I get my
server to work? Please help.

You will need to read your router manual. Pay particular attention to
port forwarding rules. NAT is meant to separate the outer from the
inner networks.

Ben,
This is an apache list. Perhaps you should find someplace where linksys products are discussed. I suggest googling the name of your product and a few key words on the web and group tabs of google. I am sure you will find someone that has been through exactly the same issue. You might also want to learn about NAT - it shouldn't be that complicated to do what you want, so please don't expect the Apache list to dig deep for you on NAT and router issues because you are "lazy" :) You can do it, I know you can!

this is Ben again with that router problem. I read through the manual, and
I'm still stuck. What you said doesn't work, so I'm doin it the lazy way.
I took screenshots of the options and put them on my mail account at
http://www.yahoo.com . Please look at them and tell me what I need to do.
I'm a Java programmer, barely able to program HTTP stuff or anything else

Where it says Ext port, you put your external IP address and the port apache listens on, probably 80.
Where it says internal, you put the internal ip address, and the port apache listens on, probably 80
the idea is that when a request arrives at the router on the external address/port, it does a NAT (Network Address Translation) to the internal address/port, then does the reverse on any traffic going out.
Be sure if you have a firewall config'd on the internal machine, that it lets traffic on the port apache wants to listen to pass through in both directions. In fact, if the router has firewall options, make sure it is letting that port though also.

Hi, this is Ben, the guy whose problem you solved like 5 min ago. (the guy
with the router) I looked at the forwarding part and I'm confused still.
I'll just tell ya what it says "Ext.Port - (blank) To (blank) : Protocol TCP
(unchecked) : Protocol UDP (unchecked) : IP Address - 192.168.1.(blank) -
Enable (unchecked). Yes my router is a Linksys one. Please, just a little
more help. Anything is greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing you got a Linksys... But even if another brand you need to go
into the router setup and add your server to the port forwarding. A router
by default blocks all unsolicited incoming traffic.
If it's a linksys, in a browser type: http://192.168.1.1
And goto the advanced section. And add the forwarding of port 80 to your
server.
I'd also recommend that you set your computer for static IP address so that
if you add another computer to your network it doesn't bump your computer
from .100 to .101 by change... Not likely but it is possible.
There's great info on whatever router you bought at
