[users@httpd] Apache can't be seen from Internet

Hi.  I'm new to this list and Apache, so please
forgive me if this question has been answered before. 
I have Apache installed in Linux and I can access the
Test Page from the other computer on my LAN, but when
I try to access it from the internet via the server's
IP address (static of course; I don't have a
registered domain yet),   it can't be found.  I
downloaded the source and compiled it earlier today,
so all the settings are still on defaults.  Please
help me!!!  Thanks!
-Michael Sullivan-

You'll have to make sure your isp allows connection to port 80 from the 
outside world.  For example, I'm with Qwest (Telechoice Online for the 
folks here in Omaha) and they do not allow access to port 80.  
Specifically, they don't allow access to anything from the internet under 
port 1500.  Therefore, you will have to see if they have a package ($$$$$) 
that allows port 80 (and 443 for ssl access).  If not, you'll have to have 
your apache port "listen" to a port that your isp allows.

To make it more of a headache...If you use DHCP, you'll have to determine 
if the IP address of your machine changes and a what duration.  Cox does 
DHCP but only changes your IP address if you havn't been logged on for an 
x amount of days.

Telechoice online (Here in Omaha) is very flexible and provides a somewhat 
cheap package to allow the Internet to your PC.  Cox, on the otherhand, is 
not flexible.  I must point out that Telechoice restricts your 
"professional" inbound traffic to 256k on port 80.  I know these ISPs most 
likely don't match yours, but I'm painting a picture here so you can be 
aware of the many circumstances that can cause your problem.
