heywell like i said im realy flying blind here... i literaly just changed those directives in my httpd.conf file and nothing else...
the article i read said 192.168.1.1 is a "safe" ip reserved for testing and will not be relayed over the internet...
im thinking my internet connection might be the problem...im on a dail-up connection <sigh> which i get through an internet gateway on my home network and it seems like my internet ip is not static (it changes every time i dail). as for the DNS i have no idea even how to set a DNS server up ...YET...
weve been having problems with our internet gateway which was running on win XP pro so were in the process of changing the OS to mandreva linux 2007. when thats done ill probably start using my apache on there...
in the meanwhile i can already connect to the net through my new linux gateway so ill continue to use apache on my win XP mashine. what do u think a can do about my problem?
thanx a million for the help HaRvEy SaaymaN HarveySaayman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <<---< Chaos reigns within >--->> <<---< Reflect, repent, and reboot >--->> <<---< Order shall return >--->>----- Original Message ----- From: "Joshua Slive" <joshua@xxxxxxxx>

It has nothing to do with your problem since you do not need virtual hosts at all if you are running just one website. Your problem likely isn't an apache problem at all. First, what is the IP address of your computer? Is it really 192.168.1.1? Second, does www.phuckersoft.org really map to your IP address in DNS (or otherwise)?
