I changed that one too, and it still didn't work; I was getting a 403
forbidden error.  I'm not sure how to allow access to anonymous
computers, but when I get home I'll go through the apache docs again
and see if I can set that.

Out of curiosity, I changed everything back to it's original state,
and tried again.  From firefox on my XP box the Apache splash page
displayed, but from IE there was another 403 forbidden; also from my
brother's computer in perth, he got the same thing.

Is that to do with anonymous connections or something?  As I said,
I'll go do some light reading (NOT!) and see what I come up with.
