Thank you, all, for trying to help me. I tried http://(ipaddress)/example.html on my Windows PC, but still could not get example.html from my Linux machine running Apache web server. I also did: - modified /etc/hosts on the Linux machine to have the entry for my Windows PC - ping from Linux to Windows using hostname without a problem - checked /etc/resolv.conf on Linux, it has a valid DNS nameserver - deleted "service http" entry in /etc/xinetd.conf in Linux but still not working. On the Linux machine, I could do file://hostname/example.html but I could not do http://hostname/example.html it says "Not Found. The requested URL /example.html was not found on this server. Apache/2.0.54 (Unix) Server at (hostname) Port 80" Thank you again.
