I'm trying to use the Monkey webserver and I edited the monkey.conf file so that

"ServerName 127.0.0.1"

was changed to

"ServerName <my IP here, found by whatismyip.com>", but when I try to open Firefox or Links, I can't open <my ip address here>, but typing 127.0.0.1 in the address bar works.  Why can't I access my site through my IP address?

I'm a webserver newbie :p

Are you behind a router with NAT enabled?  Are you behind a firewall?  Are you connecting over dial-up or "broadband"?

The answer to your question is, it depends.  Call up a buddy and have them type in your ip in their web browser and see if it comes up.  If it does, it's probably a NAT problem.  If they can't connect either it's a server configuration error, closed port on your firewall or your ISP has blocked port 80 traffic (a more common problem).

Without more information, it's kind of a guessing game.

Another trick that works for me sometimes,
is trying to connect to it thru a public open proxy.  
Then your connect doesn't look like
YOU are trying to connect to YOU.

Search google for lists of public, open, port 80, proxies..
