I have installed apache on a computer at my house. The main use of the computer is now a media swap for a few friends of mine.

The problem is...
I can view the web site on the box itself but when I type in the ip address of the box I get an error. I can type the ip from the box and get the site also. It is just when I use a computer other than the server box it gets errors.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

thats an easy one. you isp probably filters port 80. So you can't run a webserver. Mine did it due to code red and nimba.

Ops... didn't read properly :(

Some ISP block port 80 and you can try to setup apache to listen on port 81 for example.

My ISP also block on port 80 :(

After setting apache to listen on port 81, you can reach your site at http://ip:81/

Thanks for the advice :)

Well I have changed the port that apache should listen to to 81. After this I can still not get to the site. Error message is as follows:
This Web page could not be opened. There may be too many people accessing this page or the page may be unavailable. Please try again later.

I am going to start just putting in random port numbers. Does anyone else have any advice?

I got it. I forgot to change the server address from localhost to my ip address. Thanks ^_^
