Help setting up my HTTP server with a Linksys Cable Router!!!

[LazyGregg]

I tried freeing up the port to allow for http server but I do it no one outside of my network can access it...please hlep!!!!

when you say "your" network do you mean a local LAN you have on your side of the cable modem or do you mean the cable network you are attached to?

If it's a LAN on your side:
I would check the port forwarding and make sure TCP port 80 is forwarded to the IP of the machine with the web server on it and make sure your web server is listening on port 80 for requests.

If you mean the cable segment you're on:
Your ISP might be blocking port 80 for security reasons (Code Red) or TOS violations (alot of ISP's don't like you to run servers). If thats the case anyone on your segment of the cable network could reach you but anyone going through the ISP's routers to reach your IP would be blocked.

hope this helps
