Liu,

I have Apache2 installed on several thousand Win2K machines and I do not
experience the problem you are having. I grant you that my setup is not
what 'comes out of the box' but it is a simple implementation. I do not
think your problem is OS dependent nor do I feel there is anything wrong
with Apache2.

I don't have an answer for you, from the information that we have
learned. 

Could you possibly make your installation available - zip it up and let
me download it - to see if I can see what is wrong?

Or perhaps you could try this...

1. Download one of my builds - http://tor.ath.cx/~hunter/apache
2. Unzip it into the directory 'c:\apache'
3. In a console go to 'c:\apache\bin' and run 'apache -k install'
4. Then run 'net start apache2'

Do not change anything in 'httpd.conf' and it should start and you
should be able view the test page.

We could at least find a place to start from. If this does not work then
you need to look somewhere else for the solution - firewall, etc.
