I know that EarthLink dial-up has no port forwarding or port blocking in effect. I think they'll let you run servers from behind dial-up connections, but I know that it's a no-no from behind their high-speed connections, unless you get a business plan.3. AVAILABLE VIA WAN ====================
Check to see if Bellsouth is blocking your IP from being a server. SSH to an external machine, or call your aunt in Toledo and have them navigate a web browser to:

If it works, then all is good with your web server. If not, then you probably have issues with Bellsouth. Most 'for-the-masses' ISP's are blocking people from running servers. And those that don't, still have policies against it. This includes Verizon (port blocking), and Comcast (policy). Exceptions include Speakeasy, Earthlink (for some subscriptions), and Covad.
