Can't access site from any other computer inside network

I have installed apache2 on linux.  It works great from the server it has been installed on but I can not access it from other computers.

I have done the following checks:
Port 80 is open.
I can ssh to the box.
I can not TELNET to port 80
I can access the server by name and by IP (from the server)
I can do a nslookup on the server and the correct information comes back
I have not checked if the switch allows port 80 - will check
I can access the internet from the server.

If anyone has any suggestions as to why this is not working please let me know.

It was that the firewall was set to high.  It wasn't allowing anything from the outside.  (Total overlook on my side. oh well)

Thanks.
You will most likely need to open a port forward/virtual port on port 80 to allow traffic .... most routers dlink/netgear etc. usually have that port blocked until you do this.
