How to make Apache webserver accessible from outside?

[nksahita@softhome.net]

Hi, 

I installed RH9 on my home computer which has broadband connection. 

I got account with dyndns.org which allows me to get a domain name (e.g. 
http://xyz.dyndns.org) that points to the IP address allocated by my ISP. 

When I try to access this webserver from my home PC - http://xyz.dyndns.org, 
it works fine - I can see the home page that I have setup on my RH9 Apache 
server. 

However if someone from outside (my friend for e.g.), tries to access 
http://xyz.dyndns.org, he can't do it.  However, if my friend tries to ping 
the IP address or xyz.dyndns.org, he is able to do it. 

I have confirmed with my ISP that they don't block any ports. 

Are there any settings in RH9 that I need to turn on so that it can accept 
incoming web traffic from outside? 

Thanks for any help / pointer in advance. 

Regards.
