Re: [users@httpd] need port forwarding elaboration

[Steven Pierce <pa...@speakeasy.net>]

Are you using a cable modem?? 99% of them are blocked for port 80.  So you should check with
your ISP and see if they are blocking port 80.  If you are using a cable modem, I would bet that
you are being blocked.  So you will need to have the people that come to your site 
www.mycompany.com:8080 or :8088.  That might be blocked also.

Who is your ISP??

Hi,
I'm new to apache so please work with me.

My problem is the classic one - nobody else can access my server. I know I need to configure my router's port forwarding so that it forwards something to port 80 - I'm just not clear on the details of it.

If someone could flesh out this process a bit, like with what exactly I need to set/forward/configure to port 80, etc, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance
