Hans,
I went into hosts file in win2k (all computers), and entered
the lan nic's ip address and domain vhost names and aliases,
I also put the virtualhost statements in apache's httpd.conf file.
Thanks, Just what I was looking for. Works just fine.

Virtual hosts "name-based", what is the correct way to do
this. In apache, I used a *:80 in the vhost statements, to
keep the ip wide open, but with win2k, how do I keep the
name-based vhost mode going? What to which files
hosts? lmhosts.sam?

Thanks,
Ringo
