Thanks Richard. I tried 127.0.0.1:8080 and tried, also my ip address xx.xx.xx.xx:8080 to no avail.
Some more details: - my platform is Windows 2000 Professional - my internet connection is Broadband Roadrunner - my ip address is DHCP served by Roadrunner, DNS also served by RR - tried both IE and Netscape browsers - tried setting port to 6969 instead of 8080 in conf/server.xml, no change, still "Page Cannot Be Displayed" Frank ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Yee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Frank Welch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 9:23 PM Subject: Re: localhost:8080 "not found" > try 127.0.0.1:8080 instead.
