Hi all. I have a question that is probably way newbie... I setup RH 7.3 with the guidance of some security guides. My server is up and running fine, with Apache serving web pages on it no problem.

I am trying to write a java program that connects to my URL and sends some data to it. It seems that I can make connections and open communication streams between my server and any other website, but when I try to connect to my website my program hangs....

I'm trying to determine if there is something on my server that might be blocking this communication?

Thanks.

ok duh ... this same program works from my workstation over the internet to the server ... but i was running it from the server itself ... now have to figure out why my server is not going out to the internet and making the request like any other machine would....
