The IP address that ifconfig reports is "bound" to eth0 > How do I resolve DNS host name configuration in Apache? That partly depends upon your configuration. If you want Apache to run on "inet addr:xxx.xxx.xxx.xx94" and it's hostname is "myhostname.someodomain.com" then the command "host myhostname.somedomain.com" should return "xxx.xxx.xxx.xx94" That could be as simple as an entry in /etc/hosts or as complicated as setting up a DNS entry in BIND. > Also I am a newbie, I just barely have a "working" knowledge of Linux > from a Unix class I take at school. Then I would recommend you spend some time looking at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/ and learning about the configuration options to Apache. Apache is almost as complex as a base Linux system. -- Neil Schneider pacneil_at_linuxgeek_dot_net http://www.paccomp.com Key fingerprint = 67F0 E493 FCC0 0A8C 769B 8209 32D7 1DB1 8460 C47D When I was a boy I was told that anyone could grow up to be president.
