I must have been getting tired, I should have worked out that ping does not use routing in the /etc directory. I had the Ip addreses in resolv.conf and route.conf the wrong way around, so penguin (The name of the 486 lucky enough to run lynux) thought it was the network server and was just a little confused. FTP ping and telnet all use alternative means to connect (explisitly use IP addresses) Apache was set up OK so I had to put the settings back.
Thanks for the encouragement
Regards
Owen

, apache may not be listening for external connections. Can you see it with http://your.machine.address.here/ (using the IP numbers)?
No
If so, look in httpd.conf for various "listen" commands (reading the manual).
I have been looking here
Assuming httpd is being started from inetd, something else you could try is checking /etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny
If in /etc/inetd.comf there is a line that reads (am doing this from memory)
http stream nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/http
try editing /etc/hosts.allow to read http:ALL
Hope that helps.
