This may not be your problem, but since it's bitten me on NT before, I 
thought I'd mention it.

I never have any problems accessing the local web server via localhost or by 
the machine's IP address, however if I try to access a local site via a name 
set up in the winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file, then the browseri 
insists on going into it's dialup routing (even though I can ping the host 
from the command line).

I haven't found a way around this problem. It is normally not a great issue, 
but some software such as phorum issues redirect headers to redirect the 
browser to phorum's configured host. This makes it tricky to test a full 
production setup on my local machine.

Where I need to use php to access multiple sites on the local machine, I tend 
to run each site on a different port on localhost (although you could 
probably also run each site on a different IP address.

Apologies if this is not the cause of your problem.

Cheers
