thanks Zentera, that worked. should I run dns for etc/hosts or do I make my self foolish now... furthermore: I have due to my ISP a non-fixed Ip-address still by setting a time switch to 999999 I can keep an address for quite some time. what alterations do I have to make to make the apache approachable from the outside world? piet zentara wrote:

You need to enter on the winbox http://192.168.0.1 or you might be able to enter your name as listed in /etc/hosts
If the name in /etc/hosts dosn't work; make sure your server address is setup in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf to use that name. It is easier to use the 192.168.0.1
As far as restricting access to port 80 for your internal net, it is better than "trusted nets"; especially if connecting with windows. :-) You can't trust a windows machine.
