i have a friend who is running apache on a local network and is having trouble with virtual hosts.

he has the virutal host setup so it works locally, but when you try to connect from another system, it just goes to the apache root.

example:

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot /home/somedood/site_dir/
  ServerName dood
 </VirtualHost>

when he types http://dood/ locally, it pulls up the site.

now, he goes to another system, adds dood to his hosts file, and then when he browses to http://dood/ , it loads the apache document root, not the virtual host.

what else needs to be configured to get this to work?
