She said that she doesn't have a firewall up, so it's unlikely she has one she doesn't know about. 
It could possibly be the ISP, but I don't think so. They rather put in a "no-no" rule in the terms of service but not block it. That way, they can actually warn or take away the connection. If they block it, they don't know that someone is violating their rules. |

it's most likely a firewall issue. You need to poke a hole in your firewall here the apache server is listening for packets. Typically this is 80 but I remember I installed apache and the incoming port number was a five digit number... check your apache configuration file to know which port for sure... |

I wouldn't be at all surprised if your ISP has blocked this somehow. You might be able to get around it by changing the port. (If you do, you'll need to specify the port number when you try to access it, as in 127.0.0.1:31337.) |

Are you behind a router? If so, foreward port 80 to your computer. |

I have apache installed and running on my laptop.
I can access my webpages via http://localhost/
but if I try to access them by my IP address it doesn't work, any ideas how to get it working?
I'm running windows XP with no firewall running atm. |
