wasn't sure if this should go here, but here goes...

i have a home network of a few pc's, all behind a linksys wireless router, internet through DSL.

i'm determined to set up a web server. so on my linux box, i install and configure apache 1.3.31, and all ends up working fine locally. i can access my server from other computers on my network, both through the local ip[192.168.x.x] and my DSL remote IP. I have set up forwarding in my router so that port 80 requests goto the box with my web server on it. I also added my server IP as the DMZ host.

problem is, no one outside of my network can access this. so i did some searching, and it's possible that my ISP[verizon] is blocking requests to port 80. fine. i'll just change the port.

i've been trying to do that for some time now, adding a "Listen 8080" to httpd.conf, messing around a whole lot with port forwarding in the router config, and whatever else i could think of. still nothing. actually, if i try [my web server IP]:8080 from my local network, that doesn't even work. i'm lost. someone please help me.

thanks in advance.
