Ok, I understand my problem now.  I went to that IP website on two 

different machines in the room, and just as you said, they have 

the same outside world IP address.  Thanks again for you help.

The server machine is at school, it is running Windows XP.

I'm not really sure what to say about the port number, in the 

httpd.conf file I have the "Listen 80" line.  Is there something 

else I should change it to, or a different place in the conf 

file that I should look?

My IP address does begin with 192.168.XX.XXX.  With the magic of 

Google, I see that this could be the reason I can access it from 

the same room.  So, I suppose my next question would be: is 

there some way to "forward" other clients to this specific 

machine, or make a different IP address for this machine that 

would be independent of my schools network?

Agian, thanks for your help.  I'm sure this is a really basic 

(and boring) problem.

Ok, so it's listening on port 80. But 192.168.XX.XXX is a private 

IP. Meaning, only people on the same internal network can access 

it.

Since you're at a school, likely you won't be able to have people 

get access to your website from the outside world.

You COULD try going to http://www.whatismyip.com which will tell 

you what IP address you have from the outside world, but all 

machines on your network there may have the same IP. So 

basically, your only real solution is to talk to the school 

network admin, and see what solution they can offer you.

Anything else is just a guess.
