My guess is that your network isn't working from Squeak at all. (I'm sending this to the PWS list to see if anyone there has had this problem.) Will Scamper work from your Squeak? Rather than "localhost" why not use the Host's name? Do a PrintIt on the below to get your name (from Squeak -- once you have networking working there):

NetNameResolver nameForAddress: (NetNameResolver localHostAddress) timeout: 30).

I started with FourStrongWinds.zip and added it to a clean 2.7 image. The
directory structure looks like this
C:
|+Program Files
|+Squeak (an containing only Squeak folders, no images or changes)
|+Comanche (this contains the Squeak image, changes, etc.)
|-Squeak.exe
|-Squeak.ini
|-Squeak.7.image (this is the image into which I filed in Com34Swiki9.cs)
|-(etc.)
|+swiki
|+admin
|+default
|+docs
|+forward
|+refs
|+Com34Swiki9.cs
|+ReadMe.txt

I was able to start the image, open the GUI, and start the server. I wasn't
sure what URL I was supposed to hit, but I did try http://localhost/ and got
a dialog from IE (Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site
http://localhost/. The connection with the server was reset.). I was hoping
to get a list of Swikis, in particular, the admin swiki.

I tried stopping and starting the server and switching ports (and the
corresponding URL), to no avail. I usually run a PWS swiki on this laptop
(but I was not trying that concurrently.

Any thoughts?

BTW. I am running Windows 98 (4.10.1998) on a Gateway Solo laptop (PII
233MHz) with 64MB RAM. I tried hitting the server with IE 4.72.3110 (128bit
encrypt). I also tried hitting it using Scamper but it simiply reported a
primitive failure. (I am not sure that localhost is valid from Scamper,
however.)

Thanks,

Thanks. I actually think the doc was pretty good (I do look forward to your
future works, however). As a former technical writer, I appreciate the
difficulty of creating good doc.

I had actually downloaded the Swiki (FourStrongWinds.zip) and followed the
readme therein. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something
simple. I think my problem might be a bug. I'll follow up with
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks
