I've been looking at the info you provided and I don't think there is
enough to troubleshoot your problem. What are the IP addresses/netmasks
of your machine(s)? How is your network connected together (number of
ethernet segments, IP address/netmask assigned to each segment)? What
machine is apache running on? It would be better if you provided all of
your information in IP address form, so for routing tables do 'netstat
-rn'. Also an 'ifconfig' would be interesting to see what the network
interface configuration is also. I'm not that familiar with ISDN modems,
is it a separate hardware device for which there is a configured network
interface in a machine, or is it a network entity on one of your ethernet
segments?
This should be a fairly simple problem to fix I would think. Basically you
must assign an IP network address (e.g. 172.16.0.0, mask 255.255.0.0) to
each 'network' (ethernet segment). Then each network entity (e.g. host
computer, router) connected to that network is assigned an IP address from
the network's address space (e.g. 172.16.0.1). When each network
interface is configured on a given host, there will also be a network
route added to the routing table that allows IP (on that host) to forward
datagrams to any host on this locally connected network. Other routes
might need to be added, like a default route, to allow IP reachability to
other IP networks.
