Apache Web Server: not able to browse using dns name

[Bikram Assal]

I have a problem.

I have installed Apache webserver on a server machine.
I can browse the web pages using the ip address on the web browser.
But when I try to browse using the dns name of that server, it doesnt connect.

I m using static ip for the server.

Strange thing is if I do "ssh dns-name", that works.
But if I do http://dns-name/ that doesnt although it works with the ip address.

I have succcessfully set up the hostname of the server.

Please let me know what could be the possible problem.

Thanks,
ss.
