My understanding as well - but creating the edited file:
~addons/ide/jhs/config/jhs.ijs
didn't work, that is, I think it wasn't read as the default file
suggested it would be. Editing the jhs_default file (knowing that the
next time it is updated my changes will vanish) did get jhs to allow
access from other than localhost.

Yes, that is the version I picked up. But the restarting bit is where
I hit the wall - unless I modify the jhs_default.ijs file...
