even if the isp blocks ports.... you can still modify the ports that apache/httpd uses. you'll probably need to port forward these at your router (you do have a router, right!!) you'll also need to remember to use your new port when directly accessing your website. you could also check out the dynamic/redirect services out on the net.. have fun!! -----Original Message----- From: Eric Covener [mailto:covener@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 7:03 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Can't access site outside local network?

For a home network, you need to hope your ISP doesn't block any ports your using, then forward those same ports via your router to your host running Apache -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
