Web Server problem with WinXP Firewall

[Guest]

I have set up a web server on my computer. But when others attempt to
connect to my server they receive a "Cannot Open Page" error. I turned off
all my firewalls and the other users were able to browse my site. I'm new to
this and I was wondering what I need to set up in the firewalls to allow
people to browse my computer?

Thanks in advance.
Rob

except there is no xp server???

rob, you need to open port 80 on the firewall to let outside users access
your xp web server.
