Okie day, seems simple enough. I found some basic how-to's via google, and supposedly got port 80 forwarded to my Linux box's IP. Problem is it seems to make no difference. supposedly I should just be able to go to http://[my.internet.ip]:80/index.shtml or whatever and get apache... right? I know apache is working okay because I can go to http://[my.local.ip]/index.shtml and it pops up with it's placeholder. what am I not doing? Thanx, ES -- Sent from a proudly owned Pentium One computer running Mandrake Linux 9.1 (A good use for an old box) "To mess up a Linux box, you have to work at it; To mess up a Windows box, you just have to work on it."
