André Warnier! you said "Well actually, I was asking the question because I

There are several very nice people trying
their best to help me, so I may have missed what you had said or I tried what
you said and it didn't work. I also have some medical problems here that
interfere with my concentration. I really don't need the snappy
remarks!
I'll take this time here to say thanks to the others
that are trying to help me! After this I may just unsubscribe from this
forum.

Well
actually, I was asking the question because I already gave you the
answer
in a previous post. So make an effort and read it this time
:

I) computers work with IP addresses, not with names.
That may surprise
you, but it is so.
When you tell your browser to get
"www.google.com" :
- it first looks in
its own local "hosts" file to see if there is a
translation for "www.google.com" into an IP address like
1.2.3.4
The local hosts file can be found :
under Unix/Linux, in
/etc/hosts
under Windows, in windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
- if the
local hosts file does not provide a translation, then your
browser asks
"the DNS system". That is something complicated, but
basically it
means that it will need the IP address of another computer
known as a DNS
Server, and it will send a message to that IP address,
asking for the IP
address of "www.google.com"
- if the
browser cannot find finally an IP address for www.google.com
with any of the above, it
gives up and tells you so.

So, when one of your internal
workstations is told to access
"http://www.michaelrogers.com", it will
do like it is explained above.
And, for the IP address of "www.michaelrogers.com", you want your
internal workstations to obtain the internal IP address 10.0.0.115,
because you don't want them to try some Internet address out there, when
the Apache server is right under their nose at the IP adress 10.0.0.115,
right ?
So you have 2 choices in order to obtain that :
- either you
have an internal DNS server, that could respond to the
enquiries of your
internal workstations, and give them "10.0.0.115" as
response to the
question : what is the IP address of
www.michaelrogers.com" ?
- or, you
add a line into each local workstation's "hosts" file like :
10.0.0.115 www.michaelrogers.com
The
second one is the easiest to do, if you only have a few internal
workstations.
Try
it.
