I’m running Apache 1.3.28, and can’t seem to connect to my web server through the WAN. When I type http://localhost/ it works (LAN) but when I type my WAN IP, it doesn’t find the page. I opened port 80 on my firewall, and when that didn’t work, I turned the firewall off, still nothing. Anyone?
Did you route port 80 to the correct IP on your WAN?
If you did, its a good chance port 80 is blocked. I use port 1680 for my Apache and it works like a dream.
Your WAN IP doesn’t work for Apache usually. Type in your internal router address 129.168.x.x (<—example), then append the correct port (I use 1680, but if you use 80 then don't append it), and it should work
Oh btw, a good test to see if its working is to use a free proxy service to check on it. http://www.guardster.com/ is a good one. Type your WAN IP in there and see if it works. If it does, then the server is up, and in order to view your site you’ll need to type the IP assigned to you by the router to view your site.

If I type in my local address (192.168.x.x), then how will someone from somewhere else see it? They can’t type that…
