Does your home machine have a hostname? Also you may need to setup your /etc/hosts file with entries for localhost and your hostname. If apache starts up automatically you probably have a file apache.sh in /etc/local/etc/rc.d which gets run at startup. I have successfully accessed my home freebsd box over the internet using it's dynamically allocated ip address, although it usually has a bit of a dummy spit if I put a ~username after the ip address so I just use http://xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa hope this helps Andrew Perry On Sat, 27 Dec 1997, Geoffrey Robinson wrote: > Date: Sat, 27 Dec 1997 07:56:15 -0500 > From: Geoffrey Robinson <grobin@accessv.com> > To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Trying to play with Apache on a non-network connected system > > I'm trying to lean Apache 1.3a1 on my home computer, which has just a > dial up, dynamic IP Internet connection.
