What distribution are you running? So we know what tools etc you have available. Check to see if you have the Apache daemon running by: ps -aux | grep apache or alternatively ps -aux | grep httpd (both of these return the same thing on my Redhat box) If so...pull up a browser (on that machine or another on the network) and type in the ip address of your machine like so: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ That should get you a page of info about Apache. If that doesn't work then you may need to open the port on the firewall. There might be a graphical tool for doing this installed depending on your distro and firewall...
