The thing to remember is Apache is a server "service", it requires connectivitiy of some sort in order to process TCP/UDP/IP requests. Now there are way to configure your network settings to use only the "lo" interface, but you will have to modify some configuration files for that to work. So if you have a site to build, build it using an IDE like Quanta+, BlueFish and the like. Then move the files to the /www/ directory. .. HTH!
