Hi,

I actually have 2 questions, and a couple ?'s w/ in each ?. :)

1.) In trying to setup my webserver, i noticed that i couldnt get to my computers using my WAN ip. I know my router is letting requests in because i disabled the blocking mechanism. Im just wondering if Linux has some type of security feature that i dont know about that blocks WAN requests. If so, where would i check to see if it is?

2.) I tried putting http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost and it says connection refused again. The reason im saying again is because i had this problem but some how i fixed it and now it's back again. Please help!!

Thanks.
