I have a wireless internet connection setup on my Mac. (v10.5.6) Am connected to the internet and everything is running smoothly. I recently discovered a quirky behaviour while setting up apache web server. When i typed in my dynamic ip (http://117.254.149.11/) in the webbrowser to visit my site pages it just timed out. In terminal i tried pinging localhost and it worked.

$ ping localhost

PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes

64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.063 ms

64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.056 ms

64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.044 ms

But if i pinged my ip it would just time out.

$ ping 117.254.149.11

PING 117.254.149.11 (117.254.149.11): 56 data bytes

^C

--- 117.254.149.11 ping statistics ---

10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

Pinging any other site works though.

I am completely stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
