ramzzu,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Is that the actual IP address that your server has? You shouldn't post the actual one, so if it's not, then good job. The only reason I ask is, that's a "my-computer-didn't-get-a-DHCP-address" IP address, which usually indicates something is wrong. If you do an "ipconfig", do you get that same address, or is it different?

From what I can tell, it looks like you're other settings are correct.

Ya, you need your actual ip address as set on the network (not your external ip address, but your network adr)

Something else to try...

ServerName localhost

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.44>
DocumentRoot /www/example/
ServerName www.example.com
</VirtualHost>

hosts:
127.0.0.44 www.fred.com

now just punch a hole in your firewall, and it will respond.
