You don't need a SSL cert unless you want to run an SSL virtual Host (ie, HTTPS). Don't even dream about doing this until you have fully mastered plain old HTTP first... > Is there any way to know there is a firewall blocking > between Linux runing Apache web server, and a Windows > PC? Just to be clear where the FW is; It's running on the webserver machine and is sitting in front of apache. All requests to apache (or anything else, like mail, telnet etc.) have to go through it first. It's like the doorman at a nightclub. >From the outside (ie, the browser PC) there is no way to identify a FW.

To identify the FW, you need to check the linux machine - I think it's called ipchains or iptables (see http://www.siliconvalleyccie.com/linux-hn/iptables-intro.htm) but maybe Linux gurus could help you more...
