Forgot to mention that I have a DNS service with a company called NO-IP. They supply a static address of 76.18.232.237 for the web address.

To get right to your problem:Changes I made in httpd.conf file: # Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to # prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses. # #Listen 12.34.56.78:80 Listen 76.18.232.237:80 # ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself. # This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify # it explicitly to prevent problems during startup. # # If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here. # ServerName www.thepictureshow.net:80You need to set Apache to listen on the computer's local address, then have your router forward the traffic from the public (comcast owned) network to your internal network. You will have another problem with that setup, since it appears that your server does not have a static IP address. In the error log that you supplied, your server has the address 192.168.1.102, which is in the address range usually assigned automatically by your router. If the computer does not have a fixed IP address, it is not possible for your router to forward the traffic from the public network to your private network. - Y --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
