Re: using apache on a network

First of all... Listen <IP of another computer...> is WRONG.... This directive is there to use in case of multiple net-cards installed on the computer... Every card installed has it's own IP address... So you SHOULD HAVE Listen <IP of one net-card installed on the computer (the one with the server....)> Second: Bind is used if you want to have multiple Virtual Hosts on the same server... I.E... you Bind www.host1.com to IP1 and www.host2.com to IP2.... I hope that you get it...
