Hi everyone, i'm trying to make a home web server. I installed Apache, PHP, MySQL, PHPMyAdmin and some other things. I can view my website on localhost and everything is fine...

What I'm trying to do now is to make my website available to users outside my machine. What I was told to do is to type http:// followed by my IP, which I did, but still it doesn't show up. I tried turning off my firewall, but that didn't help.

Could it be an issue with Virgin Media? Do they allow inbound traffic on port 80? What can I do to fix this?

I'm on Win Xp Pro SP2, windows firewall is off, i'm using sygate firewall pro...
