I made a small website of 3 static pages with some text and pictures. Then I got a DNS registered with DynDNS and downloaded the apache webserver for windows XP on my toshiba laptop 1.8Ghz centrino/1GB. I can browse this website from any computer on the local network by just typing the url "www.murtaza.is-a-geek.com" in IE7 or firefox. However I can ping this URL from outside but cannot load page on browser. I have 3Mbps charter broadband and forwarded the port 80 on linksys router. In XP firewall exceptions tab i added port 80 and chose the option TCP. Am i missing anything here for the outside world to browze the website.... i also did some google and downloded a neat tool from microsoft and tried to fix the winsock..but i didn't knew what i was doing my fixing the winsock ..No luck as yet...Thanks for any help in this regard. This is my first website i ever put my hands on.

Thanks a lot
Regards
Murtaza

One more thing i forgot to add. Here it is..
I also have DynDNS updater which constantly updates my dynamic Public IP address to the DynDNS. My Linksys DHCP is disabled and all compurters in home have manually assigned Private IP 168.192.1.11

Thanks a lot
