Did you tell it to bind to any particular addresses, or did you just leave it to the default, which is to bind to all available interfaces? In httpd.conf, that's 'Listen' or 'BindAddress' directives. The default is effectively: BindAddress * which means 'bind to all ethernet interfaces'. Depending on how your DSL connection is set up (ie. if your external interface doesn't appear to the system much like an ethernet interface), you might need to add a specific directive telling apache to Listen on your external IP address. =20 > When I try to connect to the webserver via the IP > address of my DSL connection I get the error: >=20 > the connection was refused when attempting to > contactx.x.x.x Sounds as if apache isn't listening on that address.

Good move, but it would be unlikely for any firewall filtering applied by your ISP to prevent you from accessing an HTTP server on one of your local interfaces.
