7 7  When you turn on your web server, Apache will listen on the network interfaces that were configured when it starts. If you change networks, you may need to manually restart apache. You can do this by either stopping and restarting Personal Web Sharing, or you can run "apachectl restart" from the commandline as the root user. Because this can get annoying if you are working on a laptop, or periodically using VPN's, there are a couple ways to make this process easier.
