localhost/ip? IE and Netscape
I know the answer to this question must be fairly simple, but I have no idea
why this is happening? I am on windows 2000 pro platform, I have tomcat
started. I have both IE 6.0.2 and Netscape 6.2.1. When I call servlets with
my browser in Netscape I can call them by simply typing:
http://localhost:8080/servlet/Servlet_Name,
but, with IE I have to type my IP addresss it won't automatically resolve
localhost to IP?
can anyone please tell me why?
thanks

If you're installing Zope on Windows, have followed all the steps, but you
still cannot access the management screens, or the management screens
misbehave, try upgrading to the latest version of IE 5.5, or try Mozilla or
Netscape. There are caching bugs in some of the earlier IE 4 and 5 builds. I
upgraded to the latest IE 5.5 and had no issues. Under Linux I had similar
issues with Mozilla, but later Mozilla builds fixed the caching bugs.
If localhost won't resolve under Windows, you probably don't have a HOSTS
file in your Windows directory this is an issue with the toy versions of
Windows, not NT or W2K. Create a HOSTS file and put in an entry for
localhost.
*******
Now I know this advice is for Zope but I think it applies here too. The
proper place for the hosts file on Windows is C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc.
Make sure it has this line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
Or perhaps your problem is even more obscure.
Chris.
