HTTP Listeners shown as running but can't stop, start or configure

Question

In 4.0.8.2 Oracle Application Server Manager Enterprise
Edition, HTTP Listeners, for the "www", the listener shows as
down but is actually running. If I try to stop it, it says it
is not running (the IE dialog box pops-up). If I try to start
it, it says (in a new small browser window) "OWS-08806: Oracle
Web Listener 'www' is already UP and running at pid 0." Since
my site is up, I know it is running. However, how can I bring
it down?
If I look at the Http listener views it shows both admin and
www listeners are up and shows pid's for them. But when I go
to them individually they say they are stopped as I said above.
I use Oracle Application Server Manager 4.0 to view the HTTP
Listeners configuration. The Oracle Application Server Manager
4.0 looks like this:
- name of the site
+ Oracle Application Server
- HTTP Listeners
- host name: admin
Network
Server
etc
When I click on, for instance: NETWORK, it supposed to show me
the properties after prompting for a username and password. But
it just didn't do anything showing page not found.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!!!

Thanks again.
I'll try to be more clear about my current setup:
Modem
->
Router
DHCP enabled but supplying server with static ip of: 192.168.1.2 - hence my Ethernet 1 settings on my Xserve. The DHCP address the router supplies to other devices range between 192.168.1.101 - 192.168.1.150 (this is temporary). I'm using the Router as a temporary network connection for devices as I continue to setup the server. Once the server is completed, I will hook everyone up through the switch.
->
Xserve
The Xserve receives a static IP from the router above (192.168.1.2) even though the router gives DHCP addresses to other devices. The Xserve then goes out Ethernet 2 to (which has also been assigned a static internal address: 192.168.1.3) a switch.
->
Switch
The Switch definitely has DHCP disabled, and merely extends the network connection.
Right now, the Xserve is doing nothing other than attempting to supply an internet connection to devices attached to it. I performed a clean install after a day or two of troubleshooting.
I really want to be able to control content access as well as give certain devices priority over others using the Xserve. I want it to control... the network, in all aspects: DNS, Open Directory (Master), Firewall etc. Am I still able to control the network with the Xserve if it is hooked up side by side to the clients without reconfiguring my router to hop through the Xserve before going to the internet? If not, why not just use the Xserve as a middle man as I currently do?
What are the benefits of using it side by side to the clients? What are the drawbacks of my current setup? (Other than it not functioning)
