Yes, that is a start. I added the domain "mercury.com" (a site

However, I cannot surf to either mercury.com or the IP address. When I run this
command:
nmap localhost
I discover that no Web ports are open: neither 80, nor 8080 (Zope), whose daemon is running.
nmap 192.168.1.255
doesn't return any ports, stating it seems the host is down.
nmap 192.168.1.130
the other address returned from your ifconfig command, gives the same ports as
above. Please advise.
TIA,
Drew
Note that "vr0" is simply one interface on *my* machine. You should use
"ifconfig" with no arguments to see all interfaces on the FBSD box, and
it's probably not PLIP, Loopback, PPP, etc. that you're interested in.
Use "netstat -anf inet" on the server and see if port 80 or 8080 is
"LISTENING", and on what address. If the server is LISTENING on the
FBSD box on the correct ports, but nmap doesn't show it, then I would
assume a firewall problem, but I'm not "on the ground" there. If you do
see a LISTENING entry, use that interface (assuming it's Ethernet and
one that it accessible from your laptop) as the entry in the laptop's
hosts file.
192.168.1.255 is a broadcast address and should not be used for the
configuration of a webserver (is that what "pound daemon" is? Think so,
can't remember previous mail at this point).
