Hello !


Any comment ?


I had forgotten I had played with a little ethernet network for which I had these Mac 0S 8.1 machines 211 and 210, the latter having an ISDN Sharing connexion to the internet.


You see everything is OK now - I *do* understand more the addressing matter !


Machines 211 and 210 can connect to 212 - not shown - which is Mac OS X machine with the Apache server.


I think I started with the address I found on the 210 machine and then I installed the same "80.9.14" on the Mac OS X machine, making it different with the last number.


Now, the Mac Os X network prefs lives with TCP/IP "Manually" - having 80.9.14.210 as Router -, or "Manually using DHCP router", in that case the address of the router is found automatically - I guess -.


That leaves other network *basic* questions...


For no rest, I checked I could connect to the Internet from 210 and 211 through 210, but did not succeeded from the 212 Mac OS X machine. That is not an Apache question.


I appreciated a lot the quality of your chirurgical explanation.


Merci beaucoup.

    127.0.0.1 is a loopback address. It accesses the current machine you are on. Therefore, you cannot access another machine with it. To access the other machine, you have to know its IP address, which can easily be obtained by opening a DOS prompt and typing:
    ipconfig /all
