I am pretty new at this and have a problem which is likely a simple problem. I have set up APACHE on my WINDOWS XP/PRO box, and have a web page working just fine. The problem is I can see my web page from my Intranet, but no one can see it from the Internet.

Here are the addresses that work locally:

[127.0.0.1...]
[localhost...]
[192.168.15.101...]

I have been sharing that last link because I thought that the address is my IP address (that is what comes up when I look into IPCONFIG anyways). I have people testing it fromt he outside and they only get "page not found". What are some suggestions of things that I need to do to get people from the outside to look in.

In my httpd.conf file I have
Listen 80

Is there anything else there that can cause people from the Internet to not get to my page? I have APACHE on my exception list on my firewall. Do I just need to remove my firewall?

I appreciate any help that you can provide.

192.168.15.101 is the IP address on your LAN, not your public IP address (all 192.168. addresses are private ones). You need to give out your public IP address as supplied by your ISP (check your router config to see if it is listed there).
