Answers for today follow. I tried to find out everything I could about the proxy server stuff, but after an hour gave up on getting a short answer from microsoft documentation. I could not find anything about ignoring it although since I am working dialup the proxy server should not be the problem. As usual this little fun project is beginning to take over my life. Thanks for all your help. Wally
Can you ping localhost? (I think you said yes.) Yes Can you ping 127.0.0.1 ? Yes What does netstat -ta show in a Dos window? Can you see the port listening? Yes Does the computer have a network card in it, and is it enabled? Yes, connects to my other computer but is presently turned off. Do you have the loopback driver installed? no (don't know, never used it) Are you running a firewall (on the PC in question)? Yes Can you connect to the Internet and browse otherwise? Yes Is it via dialup?

Hi Jim, I thought this was going to be the answer, but alas I don't have an option exactly like that. The Internet Options/LAN setting states that it does not apply to dialup. I looked at the setting anyway and it is not checked where they ask if I am using a proxy server. I couldn't find any other place that proxy servers are mentioned so I don't have any idea where one could be. I will keep trying things.

Wally, Did you set your Internet Explorer to "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" (Internet Options | Local Area Network (LAN) Settings)?

Thanks for responding. My IE is totally up to date. I have changed and re-changed all the options for connecting and it does not seem to make any difference. I cannot go to Firefox because the company does not want to. So I will keep playing around and see what happens. It does not seem to be a problem right now.

When I try the examples it tells me that I must be on line. If I am using localhost:8080 why does it need to be on line? > This is just Internet Explorer being tempermental, as other posters have suggested either just use Firefox - http://getfirefox.com<http://getfirefox.com/<http://getfirefox.com<http://getfirefox.com/<http://getfirefox.com<http://getfirefox.com/<http://getfirefox.com<http://getfirefox.com/>>> or just play around with checking and unchecking File / work Offline in Internet Explorer in between page refreshes. Eventually it will work. I think this was only a problem with older versions of IE though. -- Jason Bainbridge http://kde.org<http://kde.org/<http://kde.org<http://kde.org/<http://kde.org<http://kde.org/<http://kde.org<http://kde.org/>>> - [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>> Personal Site - http://jasonbainbridge.com<http://jasonbainbridge.com/<http://jasonbainbridge.com<http://jasonbainbridge.com/<http://jasonbainbridge.com<http://jasonbainbridge.com/<http://jasonbainbridge.com<http://jasonbainbridge.com/>>> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:tomcat-user-unsubscrib<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:tomcat-user-unsubscrib<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:tomcat-user-unsubscrib<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:tomcat-user-unsubscrib>> [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>> For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> he.org> ************************************************************************ The information in this email is confidential and is intended solely for the addressee(s).
