Apache problems

[Rodney Kanno]

I installed Apache and am not able to connect from a computer outside (ex. work). I have tried changing the port numbers as suggessted in the FAQ from the APache website, no luck. I have also tried setting the server name as suggested, but still no luck. Doing a status report gives me the following; 

[root at home happy]# /usr/sbin/apachectl extendedstatus 

Looking up localhost
Making HTTP connection to localhost

Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile http://localhost/server-status

Any ideas what could be wrong with my setup? I haven't registered the hostname with any services, do I have to do this to get this working?
