I set up apache2 on my debian (sarge, xandros 4.0) machine about a year ago and all was fine. I was able to access the web pages either from the local machine (localhost, IP, or machine name) or from any other machine on the lan (both windows XP).
Last week my (2wire) dsl modem died, I got a new one (also 2wire but a newer model) and now I can't access the same web page from the internet. My browser (FireFox or IE) reports "website taking to long to respond"

I set the modem to allow through port 80 to the Linux/Apache2 box. Checked its logs and it say its letting port 80 through.
I ran ethereal and verified (I think) port 80 is coming in.
I when to Dyndns (where my dynamic IP is setup) and check that port 80 is open. I ping my IP address and it pings. I have ddceint running that updates my IP with dyndns (http://webpage.doesntexist.com/); please note: the site requires a pw to enter, but I don't even get that far.

Since the IP address of the web server has changed I updated the config files of apache2. I ever checked the error logs of apache and didn't find anything that, to me, suggest a problem.

I searched the internet including this site for days and can't seem to solve my problem.

My guess is that I have some bad setting in some file somewhere that is related to the other setup (with old modem) But I don't where to look

Wonder if ddns service requires a nat to get it to work also.

Did you try your static ip instead of the dynamic name.

I doubt it was the server. Keep looking at the modem.

Could try telnet port 80 and see what it returns.
