I'm running apache on my FreeBSD computer, which is also my gateway. I can telnet & FTP to it from my Mac on the local network and from an outside connection (the world). I can access it by http locally both through a local IP address and through the ISP-assigned IP (via DHCP). But I can't access it by http from "the world". My neighbor's AOL account tells me it finds the server (my computer) but then times out. Any thoughts as to what's wrong? I'm using the OPEN firewall that comes with the GENERIC build. Thanks.
