Apache Newbie Question

Hello.

I'm having trouble using some of the tutorials I've found in regards to setting up apache so "other computers can connect and view pages". I think it is in-part because of my router, but I'm relatively new to all this. My specs are below. If anyone can point me to a good solid tutorial that any newbie would understand or if you know what the problem with my router is, please respond. Thank you very much.

Taka,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

You'll have to configure your router to allow incoming HTTP connections on port 80 -- or whatever port you decide to have the server listening on.

You might check the D-Link site for full documentation on your router, to see if this is possible and how to do it.
