[ale] Accessing Server without Domain Name

[aaron at pd.org (aaron)]

I am setting up a Linux / Apache web server for a friend using an old 166 
P2. We overcame a few hardware issues like dead CD ROM and Ethernet card 
and have a nicely working RH 8.0 system with a very basic Apache server 
running.

The system is currently living on my home network, which includes 
internet access via Static IP DSL Gateway connected through one of those 
little stand alone Router/Firewall boxes.

We would like to access this http server from the internet for testing 
before we put it on line with a registered domain name. I _thought_ all I 
needed to do was to dial in the static IP address in any web browser, but 
that isn't quite working...

Can anyone suggest what I might be missing here?

Thanks in advance!
