Okay, someone gave me a used Dell Powertouch 4200 Server, which I installed to a normal DSL Modem. Connected via Cross-over cable is the computer I’m on right now.  
I have XPPro on both computers, with a shared internet connection. That works fine.  
However: One the Server, I have Apache HTTP Server, PHP, and mySQL, and am hosting 2 web-sites off of it. Again - working fine EXCEPT, that I cannot connect to the web-sites from this computer, nor can I access the mySQL server from this computer… I have no idea what’s going on…  
I can put files on the server, by either FTP or windows File Sharing, and Network Drives, but If I pull up Firefox, and type in [http://seifertim.no-ip.com](http://seifertim.no-ip.com) it times out, whereas, from the Server, or any other computer, it works fine…  
Any ideas?
