Apache doesn't control how packets get routed to your computer, it
only controls what it does when they arrive. If you listen on *:80 or
192.168.1.2:80, then anything that can route packets to that
server/port will communicate with apache.

Eg, if you configure your router to forward packets coming to your
external IP on port 80 to 192.168.1.2:80, then computers outside your
network would now be able to access your server, but nothing changes
in apache.

If you have configured apache to listen on *:80 or 192.168.1.2:80, and
cannot connect to it from another machine on the same subnet
(192.168.1.50 for example), then you have some firewall issue between
those two computers.

Cheers

Tom
