no-ip + apache - connection refused

[RedHat123]

after searching this forum, im suspecting my ISP might be blocking port 80, so i changed everything over to listen on 8080 but i still get the same thing - connection refused.

i can ping and the name resolved to my IP...but i cant get to my server from the outside.

i dont have a firewall on my linux server, but i do on the router. however, i set port 8080 to redirect to my linux server on port 8080

since you manually set your pot to 8080, try this:
yourhostname.no-ip.com:8080

had already tried that too - no workee

me thinks it is something in the router or my isp

however, i tmight be in my virtual host settings, so I set it back to the way it was (just one host)

still get the same thing - connection refused
