[users@httpd] Port Forwarding
I have apache 1.3 running on winxp. Everyone on my network can see the
hosted site fine, but outside the network it is inaccesible. Port forwarding
works on my netgear FR314 because I tested it and it is pingable, to the
webserver computer.
Is this an apache problem?
Or maybe my ISP blocks incoming connections of this type?
All help appreciated.

Sounds like the ISP thing as you said. My cable connection (Comcast:
was AT&T) blocks port 80 because of code red.

Why does make you think that port-forwarding works for TCP connections to the port you're using for you web server?
All it tells me is that packet forwarding works for ICMP.

Probably not, as your Apache obvioulsy is able to serve the site. It is, however, impossible for anyone here to be sure without knowing anything at all about your config.

Possibly. It is, however, impossible for anyone here to be sure without knowing anything at all about your config or what the error messages are. It'd also be good to know what happened when you tried using a diffrent port.

Then I suggest you start with actually describing the problem and what you found when you looked through the apache error and access logs when you tried to connect from the outside.
If there was no entries at all in the apache error or access log for those connection attempts, I suggest you also tell us what you found when you used the routers logging functions to see if wether the connections attemnpt were stopped in the router or if they never even got there.
If the connection attempts got to your router but not to the server, then the router either isn't forwarding the connections or it's deliberately blocking them. IIRC FR314 is a Firewall Router, so it's quite possible you have to both setup the correct port forwarding and open up the ports in the firewall.
If the connections never even get to the router, check with your ISP.
If the connections got to the web server, act upon the error messages you see in it's error log.
