I don't think your problem has anything to do with the Timeout
directive. It seems like a simple network problem - your client cannot
connect to the server.

If the applications work locally (to localhost) then clearly apache and
the underlying applications are working correctly.

To debug your network, here are some questions in no particulr order:

- can you ping the server from the client?
- do other services (e.g. telnet, smtp) work between the client and
server?
- can you telnet to port 80 from client to server?
- on the server, are you listening to port 80 (# ifconfig -a)?
- on the server, are you listening to the external IP address?
- can the client resolve the server name to its IP address?
- if not, does connecting to the IP address work?
