view apache home page from another machine.

I installed Apache on a machine with a host ip of 192.168.1.11.
when i http://localhost into a browser on that machine (192.168.1.11) i can see the apache web page "it works" . and if i type in 192.168.1.11 on that host, i see the apache web page "it works". however when i type in http://192.168.1.11 from another host on the same LAN - I get a connection timeout. I cannot see the page.

I tried opening up the port on the host machine 192.168.1.11

Code:

[FEDORA_CASPER@new-host-3 ~]$ sudo /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

[FEDORA_CASPER@new-host-3 ~]$

what is my next trouble shooting step. 192.168.1.11 is running fedora20

Turn your firewall totally off on 192.168.1.11 and see what happens.

For what it's worth my iptables entry to open port 80 is just:

Code:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

thank you...WORKS

Code:

[FEDORA_CASPER@new-host-3 ~]$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

[FEDORA_CASPER@new-host-3 ~]$ sudo systemctl restart iptables.service

[FEDORA_CASPER@new-host-3 ~]$
