[SOLVED]Host not found, please help

Ok, I tried Search. There's one thread similar to this but I'm not sure if the prolem was solved. In my case, I can open the default page in the server by http://localhost/ but I get the error Host not found if I access from another PC running WinXP. I'm just in a LAN by the way. The two PC's, web server (RH Linux Enterprise ES 2.1) and client are in front of me. I can actually ping from both PC's but using IP address only.

Try running:
Code:
netstat -nal
on your Linux -server machine. This will display your open ports, check if port 80 is open and that your webserver is using that protocol.

Thanks for the quick reply. I could see this

Code:

I see 0.0.0.0:80 alright but I don't know if this means its open or closed. [/code]
