cannot access pages except from my box
I have Apache 1.3.22 running on my Red Hat Linux (7.1) box, and I have a
strange problem. I cannot access web pages from outside of my box. For
example, if I tell my favorite web browser on my Linux to go to
http://131.212.89.168 I can see my web page just fine. But, if I go to
another machine and do the same, the browser just sits there for awhile
until a timeout occurrs and it reports that my ip address is not
responding.
If also tried opening a telnet connection to my ip address on port 80
... similar results.
I believe that my firewall settings are correct, I've even setting it so
that it accepts everything that comes to my machine. No luck. I'm
thinking that I have a setting wrong for Apache, or, perhaps, my network
administrator doesn't want me running a web server, though I don't think
that's the problem.
thanks,
Jason

Yes, I can ping into and out of my box. I can also do other things: I
have an ssh daemon running on tcp port 22, and I can ssh into my box
from different machines (after having written the proper ipchains
firewall rules). Both the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files
are empty (except for some comments). What should they contain?
thanks again

Still sounds like a firewall or possibly a hardware problem. Maybe TCP
wrappers? Take a look at /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. Can you
ping into the box? Can you ping out from it?
