Hi, The machine running Apache is not on a private network, there is currently a Win32 platform based server running fine on it (has been for roughly four years). The only thing between the Apache server and the internet is a 3Com ADSL modem, nothing more and nothing less. There is currently no domain setup for the server, as once I get it setup it will run Plesk and from there a domain name will be tagged to it with the proper DNS entries. I am typing in to the browser http://serverip to access it right now, I guess I can route a domain name to it for testing purposes but would rather not wait the time needed for the entries to populate.

Chances are, if you can see it on the same subnet, a networking or dns issue.if not both is the culprit. > Any suggestions on what could be causing this issue? To give any 'good' suggestion.....we need to know more about your network........The machine running apache..is it in a private network or is it on a network that is public? What type of gateway to the internet do you have and if you have a nat like on a dsl router or are natting on a bsd firewall machine..do you have portforwarding (sorry..i'm new to fbsd so maybe it's called something diff i haven't gotten that far yet) enabled sending incoming port 80 requests to your apache server? Lastly..do you have a dns domain name set up for the server you are trying to hit? if not you will not be able to get to your server unless you give the ip address. > I am > new to both FreeBSD and Apache, and right now am finding the documentation > for Apache 2 a little lacking for troubleshooting something like this. > > Clay Aaron
