Action Cancelled

Access outside local network denied.

I've created a small site and setup a server using Apache 1.3. When accessing the site using the IP address on the server machine everything works fine. I am not using the 127.0.0.1 IP address, but the IP address brought up when using Netstat. According to Apache everything is OK.

The WebmasterWorld.com website shows yet another IP address that I'm allegedly coming from. My ISP is NTL in England and I'm on Broadband which I do not turn off. So my IP address shouldn't change.

When someone attempts to look at my site/server from another PC, it brings up an "Action Cancelled" message.

Any thoughts?

dave_wragg,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]!

It's likely that your ISP proxies your connection to the internet, and may also place a firewall around its network. It is often necessary to set up your server on an alternate port because ISPs commonly block port 80 requests *to* their customers, and especially if running a server is prohibited in their network. I'd advise you to check the terms of use, and if it's OK, maybe try using port 8080 or some other port.
