Previous setup worked:
- PC dialed up, had ICS sharing the connection
- MAC set to 192.168.0.33 manual

My PC's modem crapped out.. so i'm using my mac full time now

Current setup:
- Ethernet manually set to 192.168.2.1
- MAC dials up, Internet sharing on
- PC connects to MAC for internet

When I access the webserver locally or from my PC it works fine. When anyone outside of my network accesses it.. they get "unable to access document".

There's nothing in the httpd logs. When you try telneting to port 80 on my MAC it immediately drops the connection. Firewall is not enabled.

Mac OS X 10.2.4

As a final experimentset it to run the webserver on a different port than 80 and then connect there. My bet is that your ISP is blocking the connection to port 80 at their firewall so that you cannot run a web server as a dialup customer.
