I pinged it > and it responds.) 127.0.0.1 is typically the address of the loopback interface, so your machine is pinging itself. The using that address in Firefox suggests that you are connecting to the server from itself; if this is not the case, that's probably part of your trouble. If your firewall really is in the way, you'll probably need to specify port 8333 rather than "https" or "http". I don't know what 'usf' does, but if it's like many other firewall-related utilities, it's probably using the contents of /etc/services to translate "https" and "http" into "443" and "80", respectively. (Those are the TCP ports assigned to HTTPS and HTTP.) There's no entry for "8333" in /etc/services on the few machines I've polled (Fedora 9, CentOS 4, Mac/FreeBSD), so if you can determine how to specify the port numerically rather than by name, it seems like that would be appropriate. Good luck!
