I have Apache 2.2 running on a Win XP-Pro PC behind a Linksys router. I have the router setup to port forward to a fixed IP on my internal network. 2 problems:

1. if I enter //localhost on the server PC I get the Apache "it works" page but I can't find the index page that creates it. I have changed the name of the original index page in the htdocs/ directory, and have put my own index page in that same directory. I still get the "it works" page if I enter //localhost, but get my index page if I enter the local IP address. What's going on?

2. I have an IP address assigned by my ISP, however I can not access the server from either an an external site or via my internal network by entering the assigned IP address.

Once I figure out how to externally access the server I will buy the domain name and set up DNS Thanks in advance Sad

1. Empty your cache in your browser
2. Windows Firewall or possible another included with AV/AM/security software. The key being cannot connect from inside the LAN, so the signal is being blocked at the server. What blocks? Firewalls.
