Ok.  Fixed IPs on your internal machines, such as 192.168.1.10,
192.168.1.20, and so forth?  So, let's say you have your web server (ie
Swiki) running on 192.168.1.10 (an NT machine) on port 80.  From that
same machine, you can access the Swiki via MSIE as http://localhost,
right?  But, you go to another machine on your internal network, say
192.168.1.20 and try http://192.168.1.10 and you cannot reach the Swiki?
 If that is the case, try to ping the first machine from the second
(open a DOS box on ....20 and type  'ping 192.168.1.10') -- does that
work?  There should be 'route print' and 'net' commands available in a
DOS box in case they shed any further light on things.

Or, is it that you can reach the Swiki just fine from the other machines
in your internal network but outside machines cannot reach it?

I had been running the latest Swiki ("Harvest") on my Windows 2000
machine with no trouble connecting to it from another machine on my
internal network.  I didn't have to do anything to the Swiki to
configure the port other than click on the right-hand button and choose
the port.  I felt that WNT and W2K were similar enough that it is likely
that your setup should work about the same as mine.  I currently have a
3-machine network where one machine is 192.168.1.40 and another is
192.168.1.10 and the firewall, running the floppy-based "Dachstein" with
PPPoE, is on 192.168.1.30.  I do not use DHCP.

I have recently switched the 192.168.1.10 machine to run Linux more or
less permanently and am now running the Swiki on that machine.  I have
no trouble reaching it from internal or external machines.

If you can think of something I can help with, such as trying to connect
to your Swiki from an external machine, just let me know (posted or
emailed, whichever you prefer).

I imagine 'Socket initializeNetwork' does everything necessary?
