I have installed apache and I can get the localhost site to appear, but I cannot access my page from any other computer on or off my network. I want to have this machine as a server but I am having problems. I am new to Linux and would appreciate any help. I have DSL with a router/modem combo. I have access to my IP address through 192.168.0.1. Please help me!!!

First, before looking at your config, can you ping the webserving PC?
Then check that you've opened port 80 on the firewall.

Also, what's the error/message you get when you try to surf to 192.168.0.1 from another PC on the network?

These q's will do for a start..

I do not have a problem using 192.168.0.1 from any other computers on the network. When I type that in the browser it goes to the router/modem. I have port 80 added to port forwarding for protocol TCP and UDP for the address 192.168.0.1. I want to be able to access this web server from an outsie computer as well.

Run redhat-config-securitylevel and make sure eth0 is a trusted device and that service WWW is checked.
Also check your /var/log/apache/error_log for any clues to what's going on.

Some internet providers block port 80... try setting up your server with another one, 8080 for instance.

Try doing a /etc/init.d/iptables stop for the client and server computers. I remeber this was a big problem for me. Although now I no longer have to for some reason...

I have enabled ports 8080 and 80 for my IP which is 192.168.0.2. I got this by using ipconfig. Is that the right way to do it? I also have a IP from my modem. I also ran redhat-config-securitylevel and checked WWW and eth0. When trying to access this machine from another what should I be typeing.

Ok, if the ports are now open, you should be able to type in (from another computer):
http://192.168.0.2:80 to reach the web server.
How did you set it up? With redhat-config-httpd?
