Hostname Resolution not working in Explorer

[Paul Osman]

Gary,

Zope by default runs on port 8080. This is why you type :8080 after the 
name of the server/domain. If you leave the port blank in a browser 
location bar, the browser defaults the request to port 80 (which is the 
default port for most web servers -- i.e. IIS, Apache). If you want zope 
to run on port 80 by default, you will have to play around with the 
configuration (I'd point you in the right direction but I don't actually 
know much about Zope).
And btw:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/mange
http://localhost:8080/mange
http://hostname:8080/mange

will all mean the same thing when you're on the same machine as the server.

Hope this helps.
