    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    But even if that's all screwed up, we'd still see a "Permission denied" or "404 Not Found", or some other error. The problem seems to be connecting to apache, which is why I still think the firewall issue is the most likely cause.

    Agreed, good call.

    That sounds reasonable enough but im not running suse's firewall at the moment. Is there something running in the background i need turn off? Would it be apache or some other app.

    I'd imagine the default state of the SuSE installation is that all ports are closed, and you need to open them one at a time. I'm not an expert at iptables, so I don't know the command to open port 80, but a bit of investigation may tell you how to do that.

    Or you could try switching on the SuSE firewall, and opening port 80. I use the SuSE firewall, and it's very easy to configure, so that would probably be the easiest thing to do.

    OK, So I am at home and it still isn't working

    Here is a helpfull hint

    netstat -an will tell you all the ports that are open on your linux box.

    No if you have an external firewall then that doesn't mean that port forwarding is enabled, but you will be able to tell it is open on your box.

    Nothing here either. Are you sure that the IP address hasn't changed? It *might* have changed if you rebooted the computer or the cable modem.
