Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Apache fails to do it's job properly

With the # of people using Apache successfully (& behind firewalls!), 
and given it's general quality overall, etc. etc. you really should 
think before phrasing your subject as you did.

You should've stated "I failed to do my job properly"...or "Problems 
with apache behind firewall".

A simple test is to try a telnet to port 80 (not from the server running 
apache) and see if telnet activates or hangs with no connection 
available. You might also want to check your apache logs when trying to 
request a page.

To paraphrase a recent saying "It's the firewall stupid".

ZoneAlarm is an excellent program and I have no problems using Apache 
with it on my windows laptop (only for dev't purposes I assure 
you...real stuff is run on Linux).
