A quick one

[jhcorey]

In my group at work we typically make test web sites available to each
other
using http://mymachine/myapp. Simple enough

For some reason this is not working with one machine I use. I'm logged
onto the network and in the same domain as everybody else, but from
anywhere else I get "The page cannot be displayed" even when trying to
pull up an html page. I just took the defaults when setting up the
site, but I've been tweaking that without success.

Some quick ideas on reasons for this?

In IE, turn off "Show friendly HTTP error messages," run the page again, and
tell us what error you're getting.

I get the same message.
Basically, it's 'Cannot find server'.
I can ping the machine by name or ip address but cannot bring up any
web site on it.

Something simple, I'm sure, but I can't think of what.
