Default Problem accessing Apache from LAN

Hi friends,
I have a another challenge which i have started facing just
now.Actually i am running RHL/Apache/Mono on a system.While accessing
the application,which is place on the linux box we used to do:
http://x.x.x.x/app where x.x.x.x is the ip address of the server and
app is the directory placed in /var/www/html/
We had to do that, i mean access the application using the ipaddress
was that the computer was not named in the network setup.We have added
that now in the lookups.I changed the httpd.conf file accordingly as :
Listen computername:80
Previously it was
Listen x.x.x.x:80 where x.x.x.x is the ip address of this machine.
If i try
http://computername/app it runs perfect on the server machine but if
same is typed from the other computers on the same network its
inaccessible.How can i fix that?
thanks in advance
Regards

Don't do this. Leave the "Listen" directive alone.
As a rule of thumb, _never_ use the Listen or Bind directive unless
you want to restrict Apache to a single IP address or port number
that is not the standard. And never_ever_ use anything that is
NOT an IP in there.

I have done that and its running fine.In fact i fixed it be4 that but
i was still writing the port #.Actually there was some problem in the
dns setting which i fixed with the help of my n/w administrator.
Thx Davide
