Accessing Apache Over Internet

[Channel4]

I'm trying to put up a website hosted on my computer using an Apache server.

I got the Apache all setup, but I'm having problems "hooking" it up to the internet.

I have an Actiontec GT701D modem/router and a TrendNet 432BRP router.

I've followed tutorials I found on the net, but just can't get it working. I've been using PFPortChecker, and it says my ports (80 and 443) are not open. I'm guessing this is my main problem.

How do I get and make sure they're open and forwarding?

Your help would be MUCH appreciated!

Read your router manual, it's on page 37

You may also want to check with your ISP that they allow you to host. Some ISPs prevent personal web hosting through your service contract and also by blocking ports.
