    My ISP blocks port 80 so I have apache listening on 8080 and I still cant get it to work.

    the servers lan IP is http://192.168.2.222:8080/ this works perfectly.

    Obviously its connected to the internet through a router. I have tried to forward the ports and have also placed it in the DMZ during testing and can't get it to work. I'm no sure if this is the problem.

    When I type in my wan ip http://24.1.140.5:8080/ or the domain name associated with it I get the standard page not found thingy.

    I really have no idea what the problem could be, I'm pretty new at this. Any ideas would be helpful.

    I can't connect at all to your WAN IP. Is it the correct IP address?

    Does Comcast have static IP's?

    ** note: I could be wrong :)

    Yes, The IP is listed after WAN IP: on my belkin router and also confirmed when I go to whatismyip.com

    The port afterwards is what I have apache listening on. This is my first time with apache, but I think I have done it right. If I get it to work with that port locally it should work on the internet right?

    Its not a static IP. The number that I provided is just my current IP (still applies). I know how to set up Cron DDClient etc to change it for me but I'm just trying to get it to work at the moment.

    P.S. its not Comcast any more, Time Warner just bought it all up a few months ago. I don't think they have done anything but change the logo on the bill. Not sure if this makes a difference.

    It's still not working. Maybe they also block port 8080?
