The first listed host in the Localhost section of the configuration file is used in the URLs that are created by some of the internal WWWOFFLE web-pages. This means that if you use them in the order that you suggest you will see URLs like 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/...' which will only work from one machine (the one running WWWOFFLE) and not other machines on the network. Obviously if you only have one machine on the network then this is not a problem. But if you only had one machine you wouldn't need two IP addresses. -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
