HI, I am running an Apache2 http server and MySQL server off my computer and since I moved into a college dorm for the summer I am connected to the LAN they offer to connect to the internet. The problem is that i want a group of friends to view my site to give me feedback but only people on the school network can view anthing, anyone out of the netowrk gets the "Page cannot be displayed" page. Does anyone know why and if ther is a way to fix this problem?

Sounds like your IP is a non-routable, private one.

So i am guessing there is no way I can allow anyone out of the network through my current connection?

PM me your IP, I can tell you if it's routable or not..

It's routable. Maybe FSU blocks certain ports, try fiddling with the port your machine listens to..

Thanks, i think they block most ports so no one can use P2P applications to download

It's the port, try using say.. 8080 instead of the default (80), then send your friends the URL:
http://ip:8080
Should work.

I used a port scanner to see what ports are open or not and only about six ports were open
