Hi, Localhost is always associated to at least 127.0.0.1 IP, however you can add as many IP adresses as you want to your machine by using TCP/IP properties window in your control panel.
As long as you add IP adresses (reference them in tcp/ip layer) your apache will handle the HTTP request. It will response to http request on 127.0.0.1 anytime (when started!). If you add an IP, and you do want to call apache through this IP, you have to add a "listen" directive to your apache httpd.conf configuration file. see apache doc for more information. In the case where your Internet provider uses the DHCP to give you a new IP adresse, you should call your apache/mysql using localhost name or 127.0.01 IP!

All of a sudden Apache and MySQL are not running correctly under Windows 98. It appears that somehow localhost was changed from 127.0.0.1 to something else. Could the fact that I NOW have a 24/7cable connection to the Net cause the problem? Thanks!
