  Explain "doesn't work".  Error message, timeout, what?  What are you
entering as the URL -- name or IP address?  If only one, try the
other.  Have you tried a non-MSIE browser (MSIE tends to give the same
error message for everything)?

  On a client, open a command prompt, and do

        TELNET WebServerName 80

If you get a connection, type:

        GET /

and hit ENTER twice (blank line).  If name resolution fails, try by IP
address, see if that makes a difference.

  What about NSLOOKUP?
