First off Hello and I would like to thank you for taking your time to read this. This has to do with my D-Link 604 v2.18 Firmware router, and my Apache server. My Apache server looks to be up and running for my IP, and I can access it through my router's IP and my localhost, but when others try to get to it, they just wait for about 45 seconds then it comes up a page is not available screen. I would like to know how to config the router to allow people to access the server, step by step, remote management is an option. Don't say "Forward the IPs" or whatever, because I have not the slightest clue what that means. A fellow Forum Member and I spent quite the time trying to figure it out, going into the firewall section and enabling HTTP 80/80, trying almost everything, and still no success. Thanks again for taking your time reading this, and any help will be majorly appreciated.

    1) Make sure your bandwidth provider does not filter port 80
    2) Make sure your apache server is either in the DMZ or that port 80 is filtered to the static IP of the apache box

    Thats all there is to it...

    If apache is accesible from another machine on your intrAnet, then apache is configured correctly.

    Sounds like your provider block port 80 requests....try another one 🙂

      wait I just realized something with the help of my friend, without my router I can use port 80 and it works just fine...any other ideas?

        then your router is setup incorrectly....

        Make sure that your apache box is NOT using DHCP and has a static IP address.....

        The you have 2 options...

        1) put the IP of the apache box in the DMZ
        2) filter port 80 to the ip of the apache box
