Hi Chris;

Yes it is. I do this at home. However you must run a DNS since Apache
(and other httpd's) need to be able to find hostnames there. 

I run my own domain and IP net. This I keep from the outside world by 
masquerading. So, you see, there is a fair bit of setup to do. I've not
found a simpler way to do this.

Cheers pfb

Yes. As long as tpc/ip is working. If you can successfully
	ping localhost
you should be alright.

Peter,
There is a simpler way...

I, too, run apache locally...  I've got one 95/NT and one 95/Linux box
talking to my "server" which is a
dedicated linux box.  Using the ever-famous non-routable 192.168.1.1,.2,and
3 for the three IP addresses
and using only /etc/hosts (and LMHOSTS on the MS boxes) for proper name
resolutions.  No problems
pulling pages off of http://192.168.1.3/ or http://my.hostname.org (Well,
it IS a private network...)

Anyhow, just wanted to point out that the hassle of named and a full DNS
configuration is by no means 
necessary for a simple stand-alone server (or even intranet) application.

However, for non-local links or more secure rarp lookups, then you would
need either another interface (I
have my 95/NT box connect to TCP/IP both locally over ethernet, and
remotely over its own modem) or 
an outbound pppd/dip connection from the linux box to map to another DNS
nameserver, or local named.

But, for STRICTLY local access to only local links, no headache is
necessary...

This is exactly my setup aswell, and if you are interested i mirror
some of the ipmasq pages on my machine if Peter is interested in
setting it up.  Masqing is great and takes a lot of hassle out of
other problems.

I run apache and squid on my linux box which is the gateway out to the
net for my win95 machine(s) which are also 192.168.1.x designated.

Have fun

I've been running Apache and NO DNS for months. Use a hosts file for 
    whatever machines you have.

I just use the IP to connect to Apache.  Even when I am connected to
the Net (via cable modem) I just use the IP to view my stuff from the
outside (or telnet, ftp, etc.).
