What happened. Does whatever the computer browsing to that FQDN use a resolver that resolves that FQDN to your PC running the webserver? Are you connecting to someone else's webserver? Incidentally, if the FQDN resolves to a public IP address, and you try to connect to it from within your own network, you can end up connecting to your router rather than your webserver. They don't always feed connections out and then back in again. A test, for those situations, is to use something completely outside of your network to look at your webserver. e.g. Try using the W3C HTML validator. Say that you had a webserver with an FQDN address of <www.example.com>, you'd browse over to <http://validator.w3.org/detailed.html> and enter http://www.example.com into the address to validate gadget, click the show source option, and see if you get the source code to your own webpage back when you "validate" (test) it. -- (Currently running FC4, but testing FC5, if that's important.)
