hanks man,
ur right...i hav no idea why in the world i cant access from the net using dialup..maybe i will try different computer from college or something..by the way u on dialup, dsl, or cable????

While on the internal network, are you going thru a gateway, and have internal ip addresses (ie...192.xxx.xxx.xxx) for each machine? If so, you may need to setup your gateway/router to forward all port 80 requests to your internal ip address. This would also possibly explain why it doesn't work when you remove it from the network and connect it directly to the internet.

Additionally, you may have the default gateway set incorrectly. What OS are you using?

hey sbrad,
my ip is
4.35.129.180
and gateway is 4.35.128.1
how do u forward all request from gateway to port 80 then???
i am using win98

i mean how do i forward all port 80 request to ip address?? (even internal one is still 4.35.19.180 cause i use ip checking software and use winipcfg to find it)

You don't need to do forwarding.
