The issue seems to involve how I have my DNS and dhcpd set up. I use 
dhcp to assign specific ip addresses to specific host names. However I'm 
not doing a very good job of it with my laptop. I don't know how to get 
the same IP address (192.168.1.46) assigned to both my wired and 
wireless network adapters (which have different MAC addresses of 
course), so that regardless of which adapter I am using at the moment, I 
can get httpd to work.

If I code this in httpd.conf:

Listen deafeng3.signtype.info:80 and then restart httpd, I will get this 
output:

[root at deafeng3 conf]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: (99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could 
not bind to address 192.168.1.46:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
[FAILED]


If I code this in httpd.conf:

Listen 192.168.1.48:80


Then it works fine if I open Firefox and browse to http://192.168.1.48/

but

not if I browse to http://localhost/. Maybe for this I need to specify 
an additional 'Listen' entry, 'Listen localhost:80' or 'Listen 
127.0.0.1:80'.

The real issue is I would like to have both my network adapters 
recognized as representing the same hostname on dhcpd, and so assign it 
the same IP address. I can see that can be problematic. So perhaps it 
would be better to have httpd recognize either IP address as being for 
the same hostname.


Here is what ifconfig says:

I guess this is a new laptop and networking wrinkle that I need to deal 
with.
