Re: Accessing Apache Server

[Prabhat Garg <prabhat@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think you need to set your nameserver. your nameserver (DNS) is what
contains all the mappings of hosts and ips. In windows, Win NT server
can also be configured as a DNS server, or else it has a default gateway
that acts as a DNS server. that is how IIS can work with host names.
