Raj, I have pinged Localhost and 127.0.0.1 and have got responses.
However, I did notice that when I started to ping Localhost it began with the message: Pinging jk.mshome.net [127.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data: jk.mshome.net is/was what I called my site when first installing Apache 1.3.26 - it asks you what you want to call the server, etc when you first install it. I have since changed it to shining-path.com in the Apache config file. Maybe this is a problem?? I have checked the Apache error log and there are no errors reported.

If you can not see the ping respone there must be some thing wrong with your network settings. You can also have a look on the apache error logs. See if you apache is accepting the browser request.
