Thanks, for the reply. I had to change the $wgServer in my LocalSettings.php file to the IP address of my router's external IP address. It was set to the IP address of my wiki machine (192.168.0.117). I can now access the wiki from the internet. There are some other settings that probably need to be changed as well (e.g. $wgPasswordSender, $wdEmergencyContact)). Now that I know what to look for, I should be able to figure that out. Thanks again,
Eric

Try just port forwarding 80 and 443

I have wiki up and running on my home network. I can access the wiki on the LAN side of the router. I cannot access wiki from the external (Internet) side of the router. I have redirected (using virtual server settings in the D-Link router) ports 80 and 443 to my machine running the wiki. When trying to access from Internet, I get a timeout error. I can access the Apache web server from the internet on the same machine, so I thought it should work. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Just a note of curiosity; Are you running this mediawiki on a machine (i.e. your router) that is serviced by an ISP that uses DHCP protocol to assign the router IP address. Or is your router assigned a static IP address. Thanks.
It is not guaranteed to be static, but it has been the same IP address for 6 or more years. The wiki is just for my personal use, so availability is not much of a concern.
