They can't access your server with 192.168.0.10 because that is a private ip adress. It only has meaning within your local network. There may be one of two things happening. One is that you don't have port 80 forwarding to 192.168.0.10, or your isp is blocking port 80. You can see if any ports are being blocked by using port scanning software. You can download one for free at

If port 80 is being blocked, you may want to use a pointing service like

http://www.tzo.com,

http://www.dyndns.com

or dns2go.com. These really help if your isp gives you a dynamic ip that changes from time to time. This way your friends will use the same name in there browser regaurdless of how often you ip changes. The pointer service gives you a sub-domain like

Most are free so it shouldn't hurt to check them out.

This thread is getting a little long so you may want to start a new one if you have more questions.

and it says
Name apache1
ip address 19.168.0.136
tcp ports 80
udp ports 80,443

inbound filter allow all
is all this correct or do i need to make some changes in order to share files with my friends?
