Cant access my website from mobile phone

Archived from groups: comp.sys.handhelds (More info?)

I have registred a domain name through Yahoo, and forwarded that URL
to the IP address of my machine at home.
I can access the URL using a desktop or a laptop (from my workstation
in the office or from another machine in the home network)
But when I access the same URL through my mobile phone the request
times out.
My mobile phone can access other websites though (google, yahoo, msn
etc.)
I checked the access log of Apache server and found that when I access
from my phone no request is reaching the server.
Please let me know what I am missing.

Facts:
Phone : Nokia 6600 / TMobile / Tzones for mobile web access
Web server : Apache running on Linux
ISP : Comcast High Speed.

Thanks.
Gen

Now I can access the site from phone. This was a newly registered
site, probably it took time for TMobile DNS servers to update their
database.(??)
Thanks for the reply John.
