Apache access across network

I have a network setup between three computers. Johnson1, Johnson2, and JLaptop

Johnson1 and Johnson2 are win2k and JLaptop is WinXP

Johnson1 is running an apache webserver.

How can I access the webserver from Johnson2 and JLaptop?

Please help I have no clue and I am totally stumped with this.
Thanks

If you use the IP of Johnson1 in the address bar, does it work?

No, It doesn't resolve if I do that.

FYI the apache server on Johnson1 does work great. I can get to it by typing http://localhost or 127.0.0.1 etc,

I just can't seem to access it from other network computers. Is it something I have to set up in my router? or apahces httpd file?

If they are all attached to the same LAN, your router is irrelevant..

Lets have a look at your complete httpd.conf

Okay, I can post that but I'm at work now so I don't have my httpd.conf. Could it be caused by anything else?

there are a million different things it could be..

If it works from your localhost, but not from another machine using the IP, then more than likely it is either a personal firewall issue, or a 'Listen' directive issue.

I am running Zone Alarm on Johnson1 (where the server is at)

Is there a standard that my Listen should be for this to work or does it vary?

try shutting off zone alarm. If it works, then you need to allow the port apache is using through (usually 80)

There are a few differnt ways to use the listen directive. Just make sure it is listening on the port you want.
