WAMP is running fine on my localhost computer.So in general I am running apache with php. So whenever I connect to internet I want some one else on internet can accesss my webserver via IP of my computer assigned by ISP. E.g if ISP gives me the IP 222.52.25.35 so any one (definitly to whome I tell my IP) can access the sites at my wamp server via http://222.52.25.35/mysite/ > > After connecting to internet I tried this URL from my own computer and it gives same results as for http://localhost/mysite/ but one of my friends also using internet at his home when run the above url then he reported some time the blank white page or some time this error (113) No route to host. > > I guess I need some setting in the config files of apache or php.ini.

As an aside, you might like to register with the free "dyndns.org" or "no-ip.com". This will allow users to access your machine by hostname, rather than the unwieldly IP-address. There are many possible causes for remote users not getting access to your machine. Here are few of the more common problems (off the top of my head)... 1) httpd.conf Ensure you have the following parameter: "Listen 80". Some servers (mine included) require a different setup, e.g I use: "Listen 192.168.1.30:80". However, the default httpd.conf simply uses "Listen 80", so I would guess you haven't changed it. 2) Firewall is preventing incoming connections. If Windows Firewall is enabled, then: * Start > Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Exceptions > Add Port... * Name = HTTP Server, Port number = 80, TCP If you are using HTTPS, then also add an entry for TCP port 443. If you have other firewalls, then the procedure is similar. 3) Network Router Firewall Every network router is different, so I can't be specific. Basically, you need to configure your router with a rule that will forward incoming connections to TCP port 80 (and possibly port 443) onto your machine's private IP address. Be careful! Opening your router to port 80 and 443 will mean everyone on the net has access to your machine. I am constantly amazed by the number of unsolicited hits my server sees. To mitigate any problems with unwelcome visitors, I strongly suggest you setup the Apache Server with user authentication. Then you just need to give a username and password to your friend. All other unauthorized attempts to access your machine will be blocked. (See docs on auth_module) 4) VPN is Active Some VPN software does not permit LAN access when it is active. If you are using a VPN, then you may need to disable it. You may also be able to define a static route to force responses to your friend's machine use your router as the default gateway, rather than the one setup by the VPN. 5) If it is not a firewall problem Have your friend use "tracert" to see where the inbound HTTP connection is blocked. eg. assuming your friend is on Windows, have him bring up a command window and type: * tracert 222.52.25.35 6) Security Settings I doubt this will be the problem, unless you have played with security settings.
