I am running an Apache server on my LAN behind my WRT54G. But I cannot
get to the server from other computers on the LAN. Do I have to change a
setting on the WRT54G?

P.S. I know that this question is slightly OT for this group. But you
folks have assisted me in the past with router configuration questions,
so I thought I would start here.

Never mind. I thought I had opened up port 80 in the Windows firewall a
long time ago. But I hadn't. Duhhhhhhhhh...

If your server and the other computers are all connected to LAN ports on
the WRT54G, then it's just acting as a simple switch and there's nothing
to set. You may have a software firewall on the server or the other
computers that is blocking the connection.

The firewall's workin, then. :-)

Yes. You'll want to forward port 80 (and perhaps 443) to your
webserver's internal IP address.

Doh--missed "from other computers on the LAN."
