It may not work if there is a problem with the real server name.

If I understand correctly, the URL /machinename/q/ goes directly to
something reasonable, while /machinename/q results in a redirection to
the URL which is form from the value of SERVER_NAME variable and the new
path (/q/).

Thanks Mikhail...that was it. I had ServerName in my apache httpd.conf as
localhost, when I changed it to the pc's network name everything worked
fine.
