Apache probs - Can't see local site over network

hi

I have recently set up a local server with apache/mysql/php/xoops/etc

I can see the site locally through http://localhost but on any other machine on the network using http://ip.of.the.machine , I get 'The Connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost'

The XP firewall of the XP Server machine is up but has an exception for HTTP Apache.

Any ideas people?

Quick fix is to change the URL in mainfile.php from 'localhost' to the actual IP. Real fix is in DNS/Hosts but the IP will work for now.

It is happening from a remote machine because once mainfile.php is read the links try to find the files on 'localhost' which as the name implies is the local machine and not the remote server....

Also, check if
http://ip_to_machine/ works, even if http://ip_to_machine does not (WITH ending slash instead of without)

I'm sure there is a config setting somewhere in the apache or PHP ini files, but I haven't found it.
