Re: Accessing SuSE 10.2 web server on network

I ran the command "rcapache2 start" and all was fine. Browsing to

access that fine.

However, I can't access the webserver from my XP box on the network.
Going to http://192.168.1.7 (the address of the Linux box) gives me
nothing - it just times out.

Both firewalls are off.

The network runs through a 3Com ADSL router.

Any clues?

Is it possible that your router (like mine) disallows *ALL*
access, even from within the local net. I had to open port
80 (the standard web page port) to my local server to see it
from other machines on the same local net.
