I really don't know anything about these port settings. I just know that I could not
search the Knowledge Base like I used to, and the statement about the 8080 port and
problems with fire walls concerned me, because it would mean potentially involving our
MIS department.

I tried this, and it worked (I haven't tried printing, I hear it's slow). Just for
grins, I next decided to try directly accessing the Knowledge Base again, and that
works now, too. So, for the moment, I am satisfied, because it appears that I can get
there from here...
