Help with Apache (httpd)!

I'm having a problem with apache (httpd).

I installed it and have it running, it starts up with linux.

When I try to log on from the host computer it works fine, I have tried ever possible way to log-on from the host.

I have tried http://127.0.0.1/, http://localhost/, and the computers ip address.

But when I try logging on from my other computer which is networked to the host, and it cant find it.

Any ideas as to what it could be thats causing this?

Let me know if you need info from the config file, its to long to post I think.

Type netstat -ta and see if you are listening on your external http port.

This is what I get:

tcp 0 0 *:http *:* LISTEN

So I'm assuming that its listening.

Make sure you have "Listen 80" in your httpd.conf

I have:

Listen *:80

Your problem is probably the firewall. I can't remember what the settings for firewall was for redhat (none, medium, high?) Anyhow, I believe yours is probably set to High. Also, it would be good to learn iptables (accept, reject, etc..) so that you can control what ports are open and which connections to block among other things.
