[Gllug] Configuring apache to accept connections

[Mark Preston]

Hi Tethys,
Thanks for the prompt reply.

root at ljp:/usr/local/apache/bin# netstat -ntlp
Active Internet connections (only servers)

I don't know the first thing about iptables, so I'm not sure how to do
this. This server is only for testing purposes, not intended to be
accessible except on my LAN at home. I use positive-internet for hosting
my online website. My router does NAT to the outside world and DHCP to
ethernet connected home PCs.
