Problem accessing my domain from some computers

I hope I'm posting this in the right forum...

Hi, I'm a newbie trying to set up my own home web server. I have an old laptop where I have a LAMP set up.

Virgin Media won't give me a static IP so I am using dyndns, my IP hasn't changed for months anyway...

So the problem is this...

The domain is leatherheadmfc.co.uk . From within the same network connection I can access the domain no problems. From my mobile phone, on a different network I can also access the domain with no problems.

However, I cannot reach the domain from any other computer outside of the network. A friend of mine from Poland was able to, but in the UK I have tried 3-4 computers with no luck, all give the standard 'Could not reach this page' error message. I have tried prefacing the domain with http:// to make sure, no luck.

Also, I cannot access my IP which is 82.3.228.202 (correct at time of posting, like I said it's not static). I can access it from my mobile and get the standard Apache page, as expected. I can also ping the IP and domain and get the correct response.

I thought at first it might be the DNS propagating slowly but it has been about 10 days now and I don't think that explains the direct IP not working anyway!

I would really appreciate any help anyone can give! If you need me to provide more information then let me know.

Thanks!

ypset

YPSET(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						  YPSET(8)

NAME

     ypset -- tell ypbind(8) which YP server process to use

SYNOPSIS

     ypset [-h host] [-d domain] server

DESCRIPTION

     The ypset utility tells the ypbind(8) process on the current machine which YP server process to communicate with.	If server is down or is
     not running a YP server process, it is not discovered until a YP client process attempts to access a YP map, at which time ypbind(8) tests
     the binding and takes appropriate action.

     The ypset utility is most useful for binding a YP client that is not on the same broadcast network as the closest YP server, but can also be
     used for debugging a local network's YP configuration, testing specific YP client programs, or binding to a specific server when there are
     many servers on the local network supplying YP maps.

     The options are as follows:

     -h host
	     Set the YP binding on host instead of the local machine.

     -d domain
	     Use the YP domain domain instead of the default domain as returned by domainname(1).
