Fast Access and Bellsouth DSL static-ip again

Sorry for the repost, thought my message didnt go through.

I knew there would be issues with this and the guys on the phone don't seem to be much help. I am trying to setup the static-ip service through bellsouth(atl). My question; I can get incoming data but I cant see the webserver on the outside. It is being hosted over port80 and they say I have my static-ip.

I am sure I need to configure there windell modem thing to allow outbound data, but I am not sure how? Also, do I need to do something on the operating system?

It is a linux system.

I can access using 127.0.0.1, but not on the IP or at least the WAN IP,

I bet if I tried the dynamic IP from the modem, it will probably work?

Can you access your webserver using the IP? (i.e. http://1.2.3.4)

Can you access it from the same machine using its WAN IP? Are you sure you have a WAN IP assigned to the *machine* (not to some sort of modem or router)?

Well, I have to use the modem to convert the signals from DSL to PC? I am sure it is some setting in the bellsouth windel modem or maybe some property in the OS?

You could try answering my questions:

Can you access it from the same machine using its WAN IP?

Are you sure you have a WAN IP assigned to the *machine*?

I got it working,

http://65.5.191.156 But, the thing is, now I cant see it from the actual machine? What do you think I need to do for that?

I tried editing my hosts file with 65.5.191.156, but doesnt seem to work; hmm.

It would help a lot if you told us what you changed.

What does "see it from the actual machine" mean?

Huh?

You need to provide much more precise descriptions. What does it mean to "see it"? What happens when you don't "see it"? Do you get some error? What error? And so on.

I think the basic problem here is you're in way over your head.
