General Board Problem - Does not load properly on some computers

[Shadowbrooks]

I just finished setting up apache, mysql, php etc.. onto one of my computers to turn it into a webserver it works pretty good. I installed SMF and works great as well. I came to school yesterday and went to look at my site and when I went to the forums they loaded really slowly and then only the text appeared. Do I have some ports closed? or is there an easier solution if there even is one?

shadowbrooks.no-ip.org or hxxp:www.virtual-security.org [nonactive]

btw the domain name is for sale if you need it

Yes you have some forum path's that are incorrect.

Grab the Repair Settings tool from
http://www.simplemachines.org/download/?tools

And copy to the main forum's path and run the tool to fix the paths

Yep you need to run repair settings. I was watching the status bar and localhost must be put in for the location of the board. You need this to be your domain name like www.virtual-security.org.

Just as a warning, running a web server on your home internet connection can get your service terminated. Almost all providers have a prohibition in their contract, unless you are using their "business services".

As I see you are on Shaw's network, here is the wording from: http://www.shaw.ca/en-ca/AboutShaw/TermsofUse/AcceptableUsePolicyInternet.htm (Emphasis mine)

The residential Shaw Services are designed for personal Internet use. You may not use the residential Shaw Services for commercial purposes. You may not run a server in connection with the Shaw Services nor may you provide network services to others via the Shaw Services. Examples of prohibited servers and services include, but are not limited to, mail, http, ftp, irc, dhcp servers, and multi-user interactive forums. Some business services may be exempt from these limitations.
