I'm trying to install apache web server on my Windows XP computer at home.
Currently, I only have a dialup connection and a dynamic ip behind a proxy firewall supplied by my isp. But I can't seem to get apache to use my external ip to post my index.htm in /htdocs (I try typing in http://12.34.576.89 and nothing happens, but the localhost or 127.0.0.1 does work.
Could the proxy have something to with this setback? Is there some way I can get around this so that you...the viewer can see a website hosted by my own computer? I really don't care about dns at the moment...just trying to get the website up and running.
