HI,
I don't know if this help, But I have also had a similar problem. I didn't
fix it but what I did was this.
call up a cosole, shelland type
insmod 3c509
this loads the network card module.
Then I ran linuxconf,
and chose control -> control panel
I stopped the web server, then shutwdown and restarted my network, then I
went back and restarted the web server.
This worked fine for me. I know it is not a fix, but see how you go. I
couldn't acess the web or my web server until I did this and now it works.
THe only problem is, you will have to do this everythime you reboot. Hence
it isn't a real fix. (Sorry, I'm a mere biologist)
