Maybe IE isn't performing the request correctly... telnet set localecho open 127.0.0.1 3000 GET /index.html HTTP/1.1 (note the screen doesn't clear after you do the "open" command, but the=20 cursor will move to the top) Also note you need to hit twice after the GET command (standard htt= p=20 rules) If it works, you should get a mess of HTML on your screen, and your server= =20 will show something like: 127.0.0.1 - - [15/Aug/2005:08:43:05 Central Daylight=20 Time] "GET /index.html HTTP/1.1" 200 3234 - -> /index.html Also, have you tried hitting other local web servers (like apache or IIS)?= =20 If those won't work either, it's probably a system problem -- aka bad proxy= =20 settings, your HOSTS file has a non-127.0.0.1 mapping for localhost, etc.= =20 Since you said you don't have any firewalls running, that's about all the= =20 situations I can think of...
