I'm having a few network issues that I think are related. In short:

http://localhost/ <- this works for me
http://myMachineName/ <- Connection refused

but

ping localhost <- this works
ping myMachineName <- this works too

Why is it refusing the connection by machine name? I chose debian
network defaults for not being on a domain. I have a cable modem.

I see nothing in the apache logs, as if the socket is never opened.

I first noticed this when trying to run the java debugger. It too
tries to connet to a socket, myMachineName:portnumber, but returns
with "connetion refused" as well.

TIA,
