Localhost won't go public

So my site loads fine on my laptop, but when I have someone else try and visit my page, nothing happens… no 404 errors, no 500’s… nothing! I sent them the link which is provided by Apache (Personal Web Sharing) it’s a numerical link 123.123.123.etc and it works on my end, but so far I haven’t gotten the site to go public. Any ideas?

Re: Localhost won't go public

Going public can take on different routes:

a) Give out your IP address (make sure your ISP is not blocking port 80, or your Windows firewall).

b) Use a service like DynDNS – so you can have a friendly url.
