I installed RH9 on my home computer which has broadband connection.
I got account with dyndns.org which allows me to get a domain name (e.g. http://xyz.dyndns.org) that points to the IP address allocated by my ISP.
When I try to access this webserver from my home PC - http://xyz.dyndns.org, it works fine - I can see the home page that I have setup on my RH9 Apache server.
However if someone from outside (my friend for e.g.), tries to access http://xyz.dyndns.org, he can't do it. However, if my friend tries to ping the IP address or xyz.dyndns.org, he is able to do it.
I have confirmed with my ISP that they don't block any ports.
Are there any settings in RH9 that I need to turn on so that it can accept incoming web traffic from outside?
Thanks for any help / pointer in advance.
