I'm not sure what the default firewall is with Libranet2.8 but if you shut it down you don't have one running. Thats good for now, you might want to set that up later. > One I do no yes I'm running Comcast (cable) with a netgear router. Cool. It's probably a netgear CM212? Is it connected to your computer with an Ethernet network cable or a usb cable? Do you have more than this one computer hooked up to the internet in your house? IF you have the Netgear CM212 Model Cable modem and no other router or other networked computers at your house you should be good to go. From the looks of your "ps -aux |grep apache" command apache is running. If it was not running you wouldn't have those lines. So you should be getting something, like a test page, when you connect to your computer from a web browser. Try connecting now like you did before by opening up the browser and going to http://127.0.0.1/ If this works you should be able to get the same page from another machine anywhere on the internet by using your ip address instead of 127.0.0.1. You can figure out what your ip address is with the command "/sbin/ifconfig" you should get something like this: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:F4:1D:78:F8 inet addr:123.123.123.123 Bcast:123.123.123.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 The inet addr: would be your internet ip address > So now from one of the other posts replays I see I will start to play > in the files... But any way this should be more helpful I hope and > were I am at this time!!! Right. If you get a test page apache is working. Now you can go ahead and configure it like Garret explained in his post. Edit httpd.conf and restart apache Also figure out how to configure your firewall to allow only port 80 traffic from the internet. You are kind of naked right now with no firewall. I think your cable modem is only acting as a bridge to the internet which offers no protection. good luck, -- Tom Penney <blots at visi.com> _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
