Scott,
Ding! Ding! Think may be the simple answer for homer not
working. No, I do not believe I have a web server in operation
ATM. But, I am not certain either. There may be a web server
built into my eset nod32 security app, and I do know that I did
use the HTTP setup so my server modules, the mirror, and all
clients communicate back and forth using http via port 80.
I will confirm this with netstat, but have already seen the server
connections for nod32 listed as:
10.0.0.x:2222 - RAC/RAS to client comm channel
10.0.0.x:2223 - client to RAC/RAS comm channel
10.0.0.x:2846 - RAS re-direct should I choose to duplicate the mirror
on another server (no plan to do this).

Ok, so 127.0.0.1 is JUST your local computer, accesible only to you--
nobody else can get to that.
Yes, understand this.
0.0.0.0 typically means ANY local address for your computer. So your
computer at the same time has multiple addresses:
1) localhost -- 127.0.0.1
2) network -- 192.168.1.20 (or whatever your other IP address is)
so if a program is listening on 0.0.0.0:25 (port 25), that would mean
it would be listening on 127.0.0.1:25 and 192.168.1.20:25
Yes, understand this.
Looking at the homer program, it tries to listen on port 80--that is
the "www" / HTTP port. The port that you talk to other computers at
when you request webpages.
My guess would be that you're already running something that listens
on port 80, ie, a web server. This would be a program that you
installed or are running. Maybe Apache... Microsoft IIS. Are you
running a webserver?
Yes, as above, I now believe it is my install of nod32 that has done this!
Do not use IIS or Apache either. This I will now investigate.
In the end, I am not concerned that homer does not work. It would have
been nice to try, but I am not going to take nod32 down just to play
with homer. I will continue on with the large Hosts file from mvps.org for
now while I do some further research of FireFox.......
Thank you again.
Best,
Duncan
