Just installed apache, cant connect from home LAN

am 12.05.2007 21:26:21 von GS

I installed the latest apache and php so I could test web pages that I
use some server side php code with. It works fine when I type in
http://localhost/mypage or http://pcname/mypage from the machine I have
it installed on, but when trying to connect from another pc on my home
network that still has IE6 on it I cant get it to serve up the page.
I've tried the http://pcname/mypage, http:///mypage, as well
as http://pcname:80/mypage with no success.

What am I missing here?

thanks in advance

Same thing, I can ping the web hosting machine fine, using dns name or
ip address. I have all local firewalls disabled, the only firewall in
place is on my router.

are you using named virtual hosts?
what ip is apache listening on?
goto a command prompt and run
netstat -aonb
you should see something like this:
TCP 10.10.10.10:443 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
900
[apache.exe]

and elsewhere this

TCP 10.10.10.10:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
900
[apache.exe]

or 0.0.0.0 on port 443 and 80

TCP 0.0.0.0:443 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 900
[apache.exe]
TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 900
[apache.exe]

however the IP might be 127.0.0.1
TCP 127.0.0.1:443 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 900
[apache.exe]
TCP 127.0.0.1:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 900
[apache.exe]

if it is 127.0.0.1 then you wont be able to access it from another
machine because it is not listening on the IP assocaited with the
Network card.

to make sure apache is actually listening on all IP address, simply
remove from the httpd.conf any IP from the Listen or bind directive.
Listen *.80 will cause it to listen all IPs on port 80.

while in the command prompt what to you get when you do
telnet serverIP 80
GET / HTTP/1.1[enter][enter]

you might not see the GET ... line

what do you get when you run the exact command on the actual server?

Thanks - here is the what shows up when I enter netstat -aonb for a few
seconds:
