OK, so I think I have this resolved with the help of this article:
http://www.apachelounge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8091 In it (actually,
the 2nd post in), it says that some default rules in apache require you
to use a computername instead of an IP. So, I added my host name to my
XP laptop's hosts file and could get the default "Fedora Test Page",
then was able to get access to my Mythweb setup.
So for now, I'm operational. I'm a little unclear as to why this rule
matters, so if anyone has any insight, I'm all ears! :-)
Thanks for all the help!
Harry
