Not necessarily.... First a "wget localhost" (or oldschool: telnet 
localhost:80 -> GET / HTTP/1.0)

If that succeeds, then check against the external IP address "wget <pub-ip>".

The localhost interface is usually always listened to and wide open. The 
external IP may not be listened to (check your httpd.conf for the IPs to 
listen on), or may be blocked by iptables/firewall.
