192.168.x.x is safe because it is considered a private range and is not routable across the internet. So 192.168.1.1 is fine to use as long as no other computer on your local LAN is using that IP. However, before apache can use it, your OS has to actually be listening to that address in the first place. You can go to window's tcp/ip advanced settings and add that address as a secondary IP and Apache should be able to use it. However, it sounds like you've got an internal network already since you're using a gateway. Drop to a dos box and type "ipconfig /all" and look to see what your box's internal IP is. Use that and you should have the same results as 127.0.0.1. Don't even try to host a site on a dialup, dynamic IP. You're just wasting your time. --Victor -- http://www.victortrac.com
