I have installed apache and can get the default page (the one which just says apache is installed and working) by going to http://localhost/. However if i attempt to connect using my IP address ("http://206.155.61.155/") i can never connect. The same happends with telnet and ftp. My IP changes every time i dial into the internet, so i found my current one by doing a "netstat -rn" and looking at the gateway for my localhost (this may very well be the problem, is there a easier/correct way to find your current IP? Thanks, I'm sure the answer is really simple, but it's about 5:00 AM here so i really should get some sleep.
