Accessing smallwiki from outside

Tue Sep 21 14:17:35 MEST 2004

but as I mentioned in the VW dev list I am running a SmallWiki on my own  
Linux box from home which is accessible to the world and it works just  
fine, so this is very puzzling, I have not added any aliases after a  
standard RHEL install, maybe a detailed step by step account of how the  
wiki was setup , firewall configuration, port forwarding setup, and more  
details about the bug would be useful, certainly what is happening is not  
the "normal" case.
