thanks to Dave's suggestions I succesfully got that "moving" linux box 
transported to the other side of campus and working properly .. thing is, 
now I have another problem.  For some reason I cannot start httpd .. it 
keeps telling me that I have no hostname .. but i do .. chacked a 
million places and ran hostname also .. here was the output -

<snip>
[root@conan /root]# httpd: cannot determine local host name.
Use ServerName to set it manually.
</snip>


so i uncommented the Servername part of httpd.conf .. and now I got this:

<snip>
[root@conan conf]# httpd: cannot determine the IP address of the 
specified ServerName (conan.hartford.edu).
</snip>

Now .. this never happened to me before.  I had this saem machine in 
another spot with another ip .. and apache worked fine.. inetd got it 
going on every boot.  The ip is correct as far as I know .. hell.. i can 
telnet into it .. ping it .. the whole shebang.  just can't get the http 
daemon running.  what gives ?? any sugestions ?

one more thing .. if anyone ever needs to just change an ip of a machine 
in a move .. the only file that needs to be changed is 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0   .. I changed only that ip .. 
and it worked like a charm.  Maybe that's a clue as to what's up with the 
web server..  TIA !
