OK here are the specs: I have a Win XP machine with apache installed. I am routing through a D-Link DIR-615 router, and I have the TCP port 80 forwarding to that machine. When I type in the IP address to my house from a remote machine, I get the following message: "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later." I also check on the Internet Sessions panel in the router admin, and I see lines like this: Local | NAT | Internet | Protocol | State | Dir | Priority | Time Out 192.168.0.197:80 | 80 | 75.217.114.211:2365 | TCP | CL | In | 128 | 238 192.168.0.197:80 | 80 | 75.217.114.211:2361 | TCP | CL | In | 128 | 219 So apparently the connections are getting through, and they are hitting the proper server, but for some reason, the remote machine isn't getting anything back. I know the firewall is not an issue because the router logs tell me when connections are blocked. And when I run http://localhost from the host machine, I get the usual "it works!' message, so I know apache is running. So why can I not see the page remotely? Are there other settings I need on my router?

Presuming you have a static IP address from your ISP, you type that address in, and the router then routes that input thru port 80 to the PC. You can not use internal network addressing externally...... Also you have to ensure that Web Browsing etcetc is NOT thru Port 80.....
