i think when you use ie in offline mode it doesn't try to connect to any
server, including localhost. i think if you configure ie to connect to the
internet via a LAN you'll be able to access tomcat via localhost, or try
http://127.0.0.1.
if you don't have a network card in this computer you may have to install
the ms loopback adapter and bind it to tcp/ip (at least this was the way in
nt4)

Subject: Re: tomcat on win2k
I thought that I tried that. I was not online however. Therefore, when I
prefix my URLs with Http:// IE asks me to connect to the internet. I then
choose 'work offline' and the page is not found.
I will try it again tonight, maybe I missed in my MANY attempts to get it to
work on IE. :)
Thanks for the info,
Pete
