Sorry I wasn't more clear. Apache2's running and afaik working well 
excepting this issue.

ipfw isn't running. What are the other possibilities?

Have tried both. I'm speculating that my local dns isn't working at all, 
and http://swamisalami works because it's also defined on the hosts file of 
the xp box on my lan which happens to have the dial up connection and so 
acts as the funnel for dns lookup via my isp. As you can see am very new to 
this and trying to understand how my own set up is actually working.
