Thanks Tyler, Tim, & Anthony Yes - this external IP was the one I was already using, though the Name is different to the one in the Apache config file. Maybe it's worth playing about with that? I don't think my service provider is blocking inbound traffic as I've already used ACDSEE share <http://www.acdsystems.com/English/Products/ACDSeeShare/index?LAN=englishX10 > and ShowOff! <http://www.showoffmypictures.com/index.php> to do essentially the same thing. Neither use port 80 ... one uses 1080, the other 8080 ... but I'm pretty sure I set up Apache to use a different port also - I'll have to check. The reason I'm wanting to use Apache to do this all through, rather than either of these two programs, is that they don't allow me to create the website the way I want it to look.
