Yes, it is still possible that DSL has port 80 blocked but dial-up doesn't. They go through different routers and ISPs traditionally haven't worried about people running web servers on dial-up modems.
If your computer is connected to the DSL line via a router and you only want to be able to use Apache to test you might be able to get around it by putting in the local ip address for the computer to use for testing or by using the loop back address. What happens if you type in http://localhost? Or http://127.0.0.1? Another option might be to configure Apache to use a different port number. Cheryl D.

SBCYahoo also give me a dial-up acc for travel purpose. First, I tried SBC dial-up connection with my notebook and ran Apache fine. Then, I disconnected DSL with my desktop and connected with dial-up, but the Apache still didn't run (localhost page didn't show up). Is it still possible that DSL provider blocks port 80? Seems not because the same dial-up connection with notebook didn't block port 80. Any idea then? ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
