Thank you Erick: I knew it was something really easy but I couldn't see it.
Setting in the hosts file my Servername ===> rafael.muneton.com along with the IP address ===> 192.168.1.64 solved the problem. And now it works just fine and very fast. Thanks again.

That just tells Apache its own name, it doesn't help your browser find your webserver. -- Eric Covener cove...@gmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
