apache and misticaly closed port

Hi all,
I have server with Linux(Mandrake 9.1) with apache2 on it.
I succesfully have run it.
netstat -l shows that server is listening to port http(80),
but i can't access the server from external compter in the LAN.
If I run apache on another port - the same thing happens.
But if i run httrd on port of ftp or ssh , it's possible to access the
server by
server:21 or server:22.
I guess , that somewhere in configuration files the port of http and
other port are closed .
Please help..

Thx

So 'lynx localhost' works then? Cool. Sounds like a firewall problem...?

Yes, It was the linix firewall problem .
I've stoped the service iptables and it has started to work.

Cool. Even if it is a bit extreme to totally stop the firewall -
unless you already have another one running.

If you want to start running the firewall again, I've found Webmin to
be really useful for editing the rules.
