Apache on Windows XP hostname issue

can only reach remotely with IP

[RynoGravy]

I am using EasyPHP and running Apache 1.3.33 on Windows XP. I am able to reach the server with the IP and dns host name locally. I'm only able to reach it remotely with the IP address, not the dns hostname. This is probably something silly that I've overlooked but I'm having a lot of trouble with this. Any help would be outstanding. I have no firewall...like I said I just can't get the domain name to map to the ip remotely.

What happens if you try and remotely ping your server

e.g.

ping www.example.com

Does the name resolution work - and do you get something like this:

Pinging www.example.com [1.2.3.4] with 32 bytes of data

Reply from 1.2.3.4: bytes=32 time=57ms TTL=53

I'm able to ping it remotely using the DNS name and the IP. I think that's why I'm a little confused about this deal. Everything looks right and the only thing I'm unable to do is get to it using the DNS name in a browser remotely. It seems like everything else works.
