Ray,
Once the machine is booted type ifconfig -a
you should see something similar to:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:C5:F4:08:3A
inet addr:24.161.66.6 Bcast:24.161.67.255 Mask:255.255.252.0

TX packets:35481 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

also, try and see if you can browse.. or ftp.. or ping.. or telnet
outside your machine. I dont like the httpd error has todo with your
networking, it could be that httpd is misconfigured.
