Default Apache 2.x Question....A small puzzle.

So I installed Apache 2 on my XP Pro box. Running as a service on
127.0.0.1:8080. Install was no problem. But when I try to look at
the page via the browser using http://localhost, no joy...can not find
the page. When I try http://127.0.0.1 again no joy. But when I use
http://127.0.0.1:8080 Tada it works fine.

So I changed the server name from 127.0.0.1:8080 to 127.0.0.1, again I
can not access the test page. So I try servername localhost, and no
good. So I set it back to 127.0.0.1:8080, when I use that addy it
works fine...

What gives?

Thanks
M
