The answer to this is that the first entry in the Localhost section of the WWWOFFLE configuration file must be set to a name that the WWWOFFLE server can be accessed on the network. This name is put into the links for the Welcome page etc. In your case the Welcome page link will have a URL of "http://localhost:8080/" I presume that this is what is confusing the remote browser. For example if the machine is called wwwoffle and its IP address is 1.2.3.4 then you should have the Localhost section look like this: Localhost { wwwoffle 1.2.3.4 localhost 127.0.0.1 } -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
