Everything works fine locally. 127.0.0.1, my private ip 192.xxx.x.x, and my free registered DNS domain avalon-designs.ath.cx. I can type any of those and the "It works!" page appears. But when someone else types in my dns name it fails to load the page. I'm using a netgear router by the way.
Things I've tried:
-Turned off firewall
-Forwarded port 80
-Reset router.
-Tried different port. 8080
-Forwarded port 8080
-I made sure to change the Listen 80 to 8080
-I made ServerName avalon-designs.ath.cx:8080
-I even removed apache and did it all over again to makes sure it installed right.
Everything is default except for the changes I made above. It's Apache v2.2.14. Is there anything else that I can try? |

I am not familiar with the Netgear router.
Linksys routers have a "block wan requests" option that needs to be disabled, NG may have something similar.
Try a really odd port, something other than the standard alt. http ports of 80, 88 and 8080 ... try say port 43210 or some other crazy number up high. Any ISP that blocks 80 very well could block the others. |
