I am installing an apache http server on my pc, but i am over a network. I use the internet through another pc. How do i configure either pc so my server will work?

I am running Windows XP Pro and Windows 98 SE on the internet pc.


Thanks

Andy
 
Apache version 2.0.54

I read through the guides/FAQ's and i know this sounds n00bish but it didn't seem to answer my question. Could you explain or help?

Thanks

Andy16,

I wouldn't worry about sounding n00bish, but could you please rephrase the question?

Are you attempting to configure an Apache server running on Windows XP using a client running Windows 98, or the other way around?

Does the Windows 98 computer provide Internet Connection Sharing to your Windows XP computer?

Yes the Windows 98 computer provides the Internet Connection Sharing it to my Windows XP computer.
 
You need port forwarding on Win98 to WinXP.

I am not sure if this can be done on 98.

I think i had one link to a page, if i find it i'll post it to you.

How are you connecting to the internet? Do you have dialup or DSL with a home network?

 
My internet connection is Cable
 
Andy16,

The first logical step would be to see if your ISP has any mechanisms in place that block incoming requests on port 80. I worked for an ISP that did this, and it is not an unusual request from a customer.

Second, you'll need to set up forwarding for port 80 in ICS. This is not an Apache question, per se, but Google should provide some links on how to do this.

Forget the ICS,
To do the port mapping download this,
cb_PMM - Port Mapping and Monitoring
It's free and you can set
From IP 0.0.0.0(which means from all) Port 80 -> Map IP ip.of.apache.sever Port 80
