Hi If your web server has the servlet support built into them (in case of Apache mod_jserv is enabled or java servlet option is enabled in Netscape's ) then you don't have to specify the port number for accessing your servlet classes thru a URL. Are you by any chance routing your http request thru a proxy ... in that case the host name without the domain won't work. Either bypass proxy (by setting your Netscape's advanced proxy settings) or use the complete machinename.domainname format. Another thing that you can check is the mapping of the servlet zones ... it should be in the directory called servlets and the same should reflect in your jserv.properties if it exists . Well I am new myself to the whole world of servlets myself but I hope something here would help. patrick lurlay wrote: > Hello out There! > Help anyone.
