Well... I know that most browsers (mozilla, netscape, IE, etc) will
automagically display the "index.htm" or "index.html" file in at the end
of a URL if no specific *.htm(l) file is specified, but I didn't know
they would use a "default.html". Try renaming the "default.html" to
"index.html".

See the following URL's for clarification:

http://home.comcast.net/~freddyboomboom/

and

http://home.comcast.net/~freddyboomboom/index.html

Don't know anything about apache... try
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/ for more info...
