Forgive my ignorance. Do you mean to disable DNS under TCP/IP

Also, if we do so, wouldn't it affect our internet browsing? I
mean, is there anyway to do it under Apache itself?

You could however just listen apache on 127.0.0.1 port 80 and NOTHING =
Else

Many thanks. I changed

Listen 80
to
Listen 127.0.0.1:80

Now it seems to do the trick. Thanks.
