Windows Client to a Linux Server "some times"

My windows client (once called in a previous thread as 192.168.0.5) is working ok to display static html pages requested to linux server 192.168.0.1. The web server in the linux machine DOES process the perl scripts and reports resulting pages if the request is made inside the server's computer, using any browser for example.. The client (.5) calls the script vía a "form", the server records in the access log a "post", the error log is clean and the client reports "can't show page", (again, a page that is shown on server machine, while the form is sent within the (.1) machine.

¿Any suggestion of the cause?

On other things (just reporting that!), static pages are brought and displayed normaly. Also, the Apache was not showing subdirectories until I filled corectly the field in the https.conf "ServerName" (or "NameServer"), which was set by default as "_default_" . I called it "localhost", since I don't not yet confident with the DNS thing, so I haven't changed that. Suggestions to break the fear on that and on virtual servers are welcome!!!. Other trafic like telnet and ftp works ok. Another bug I had only on http traffic, (ftp and telnet were ok) was that the windows client had set the proxy option to search for 192.168.0.2, so whenever I requested for 192.168.0.1, it was always switched to .2, until I turned off the proxy usage in the windows client.

Thanks
