I have Apache, mySQL and php installed on an Ubuntu box for internal testing and occassional non "mission critical" webpages. It all works fine internally - Localhost from the Ubuntu machine works (it doesn't from the other networked computers, not sure if thats normal or not), the ip & computer name of the ubuntu box works on other networked PCs, but it doesn't work if you try and access it via the net.

I have forwarded port 80 to the internal IP address with my router (Dlink 624), but it's still not working. I think theres some kind of virtual host setting in the apache config, but I'm not quite sure. My ISP doesn't block port 80


Thanks for any help.

I know this may sound like a dumb question but are you using your Internet IP to access from the net.

Have you checked for any firmware upgrades for your router.
