Norman you asked "Have you been to www.apache.org

that you think I didn't see please let me know! 

That's just part of my sig for Apache messages.

I do have a hard time seeing because of eye strain beyond my control, 

been to the eye Doc several time and gripped about it.  Second problem 

I have to admit to is not understanding some of the things written.  I 

need exact examples such as a httpd.config file that is in actual use 

so that I can see how the author wrote it.

Ok, I came into this thread in the middle. I assume you are on Windows. 

I assume you have your domain name as bought through a third party and 

you have pointed it to your ISP assigned ip address where you are 

running apache serving web pages from (one of) your computers.  If those 

are correct...

To correct the problem of your router assigning different addresses on 

reboots you need to  set up 'Address Reservation'  (as it's called on my 

NetGear under LAN IP Setup). If your router supports this then you can 

tell the router to assign the same address to the same computer by it's 

MAC address.

You need to straighten out the nameservers and dns entries for your .com 

address if that is you and not someone else with the same name who 

already had the address.
