Apache 2 problems

I have been stuck on this problem for a week now and need help. I am running one box with Mandrake 9.2 and another with Win xp. They are connected through an network everywhere router. I can access my apache 2 server from the Xp box by accessing the linux boxes network address (192.168.1.200), but I can not access using my IP. I have tried forwarding and dmz and that doesn't help. I can access my FTP server with my ip address, so i am reaching the machine. I have even tried doing http through a proxy server and still get the page not found error.

I thought maybe my ISP blocked port 80, so I set up a simple http server on XP and was able to access that with no problem, withboth my ip address and through the proxy server.

I figure I have a configuration error in apache, but not sure.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am at my wits end here..

Thanks

That link is reporting the same IP I user through the proxy (guardster.com). The problem is if I go to http://24.223.170.167 I get the error. If I go to https:/24.223.170.167 it works or if I go to https://24.223.170.167:443 it works. The 443 is set up as a virtual host with the same params as the main host. Why can I access the site with SSL and not with the normal HTTP? I know its going to be some simple problem when I find out what it is, so I am prepared to kick my own butt :D !!!

 

Thanks

that sounds like a router problem, try turning off remote access to your router, and change the ports it runs on to say 60000. Come into the boards irc room and i'll try to help you from there also (link at the top of the page)

I see https and ports 443 and 21 do work, BUT 80 does not. Somewhere in your setup port 80 is blocked. Where exactly... I am not sure, but it needs to be opened if you want to serve web pages.

 

Do you have something like my NETGEAR router's Web-based Router Configuration Utility. I had added a forward to port 80 using this for my setup by browsing to router's IP and then forwarding port 80 to the nic of the machine running Apache.

Thanks for the help guys. Turned out my router was the problem. Everytime i set it up to forward port 80 to the machine it would work for a few minutes then reset it'es self. After some research I found out this is a common problem with Network Everywhere routers, so I went out and bought a nice new belkin router and everything is working fine now.

I do have to say that mandrake is the easiest distro I have ever set-up, and lovin every minute of it. Waiting for my domain to register and seeing what trouble i can run into next :D

thanks alot
