Do you have a valid domain name for your website registered? If not, your
site can't be found using just the domain name. There's no way for the name
servers to "know" where your site is.
If you know the IP address of your machine as assigned by your ISP you
should be able to see the site by pointing a browser to:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Note, if when you connect they assign an IP dynamically, that address would
likely change each time you connect.

There are ISPs that monitor the use of port 80. However it's usually
because they don't want you running a website without paying some extra for
the use of their bandwidth. You should be able to find that information in
their policy statement.

Finally, getting back to a valid domain name, in order to register a domain,
you usually need to supply the IP of a Domain Name Server. From your
description, that server would be under the control of your ISP unless you
run your own. HTH

Hi, Mike!

NIS stays on even if u disable it. you need somehow to make a rule for
apache or uninstall NIS.

I uninstalled NIS, and it still didn't work. I have a free domain name setup
through ODS and I've tried binding the server to both the domain name and
the actual IP address. I've even tried different ports. Still no go. Nothing
else is accessing these ports either, I'm only running what I need to run
the web server. I even tried the Personal Web Server that came with windows,
don't laugh I was desperate. Anyone else ever run into a problem like this?
It works completely fine from the local machine, even Tomcat works right.
What is a good alternate port I could use other than 80 to try? Thanks
again,
Mike
