[new to apache]

i installed apache, php, and mysql and everything is working fine for me except that other people cannot view my website. when i go to localhost everything show up fine!!! I have a linksys router that i have port 80 forwarded on so its open and here are some excerps from my httpd file:

 

#

# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or

# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>

# directive.

#

#Listen 3000

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80

Listen 68.169.58.113:80

 

#

# Port: The port to which the standalone server listens.  Certain firewall

# products must be configured before Apache can listen to a specific port.

# Other running httpd servers will also interfere with this port.  Disable

# all firewall, security, and other services if you encounter problems.

# To help diagnose problems use the Windows NT command NETSTAT -a

#

Port 80

 

#

# ServerName allows you to set a host name which is sent back to clients for

# your server if it\'s different than the one the program would get (i.e., use

# \\\"www\\\" instead of the host\'s real name).

#

# Note: You cannot just invent host names and hope they work. The name you  

# define here must be a valid DNS name for your host. If you don\'t understand

# this, ask your network administrator.

# If your host doesn\'t have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.

# You will have to access it by its address (e.g., http://123.45.67.89/)

# anyway, and this will make redirections work in a sensible way.

#

# 127.0.0.1 is the TCP/IP local loop-back address, often named localhost. Your  

# machine always knows itself by this address. If you use Apache strictly for  

# local testing and development, you may use 127.0.0.1 as the server name.

#

ServerName 68.169.58.113:80

 

i think that about does it so can anyone figure out why no one can connect to my server. if my ISP blocks port 80 how can i change that so that others can view my site?

 

any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
