Check that your broadband provider isn't blocking port 80. I ended up  
having to move my home server to a different port because Brighthouse  
was blocking 80.

I will. But could you explain about this? If they were blocking port 80,
how would I be able to use the internet? (sorry to display raw ignorance so
blatantly!)

Also: if I do end up having to move the server to a different port, how
would I do that, if the answer isn't too complicated?
