Sorry if I am oversimplifying this but your do have _two_ machines (at a 
minimum) one running OS X one running OS 9; right?

This is OT here and i would recommend alt.sys.mac.newuser-help for this 
type of question.

However, assuming the above setup simply point your OS 9 web browser to 
http://10.0.1.nnn/~yourusername/

Important parts here are:

1 -- you _did_ turn on web sharing on the OS X machine
2 -- they _are_ separate machines.
3 -- you know your short name
4 -- you know the last digits o the IP (represented by nnn) on the OS X 
machine
5 -- the final forward slash is not optional

please email offline if you need more help.  and due to a minor 
misconfiguration by Apple you may.
