Dennis,

you problem sounds very weird to me.

1. It's no problem to use the TinyHttpServer both on the local machine
and on the network.

2. Maybe your Netscape tries to connect to some other WWW server before
you get the chance to connect to your VisualWave. Look at your Home Page
Location in the Netscape General Options screen. This should be

	http://localhost:8008/echo

for example.
