I've tried to do a port scan of the ports 75 through 85 on the IP# I got when trying to reach you via "www.philwebster.com". Result: nada. Zip. No reply whatsoever.

Pinging gives very normal results.

If you don't have a firewall, and your ISP isn't blocking ports, and if the IP# given by the nameserver to my web browser is correct, and your Apache server is up and running, then something is really wrong.

Have you checked that you really have the IP# that you should, in both Network panel and the Sharing panel? I've noticed that they sometimes differ, especially if you reconfigure the Network settings while Sharing is on. A restart will fix that (sometimes it is enough just to turn sharing off and on).

One way you can test it from home is by using a proxy service such as www.safeweb.com to load the page from your home computer. The safeweb site pulls the data from a web server and forwards it back to you. This is also good for testing counters and such where you need an unique IP.
