Adam,
Not sure what could be the problem.  I was able to ping you from outside
our domain(not that I was worried).  Some things to check--
There are many possible problems, but I'll try to hit some of the more
common ones.

1.  Make sure your apache setup is correct -- basically make sure it is set
up on the port your trying to access it on(usually 80).
2.  If you are running Apache from your inetd then you will need to check
your hosts.allow and hosts.deny because they will effect the ability of
access to your web server.  However, I'm pretty sure that Apache runs as
standalone on most distributions(at least all the one's I've used).
3.  If Apache is indeed running as standalone check and make sure the
processes are running(usually about 10 of them).  You can check this with
'ps ax | grep httpd'  If it isn't you will want to check your
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d for a script called S85httpd.  If it's not there you'll
probably want to recreate it and then run it.

I hope this helps.

'njoy,
Mark
