I have just installed the web server and it is running. If I try to connect from the host machine to the host machine at http://localhost/ , my test page is received correctly. If I try to connect from the the host machine to the host machine using the host machine's Ethernet address instead of localhost, I am also successful in loading the test page. However, if I try to connect from another machine on the LAN to the host machine using the host machine's Ethernet address, the connection times out. Here is a summary of what I have tried and what works and doesn't work:

HM = Host Machine, RM = Remote Machine.

HM ->HTTP-> HM:localhost : OK
HM ->HTTP-> HM:Ethernet Address : OK
RM ->HTTP-> HM:Ethernet Address : Fail
RM ->PING-> HM:Ethernet Address : OK
RM ->Telnet Port 80 -> HM:Ethernet Address : OK

Firewall on host machine is disabled. All machines are on the same subnet with same default gateway.

Any ideas?

That's very strange!

One more test you could try from the remote machine. What's your server's network name? If it's myserver, go to your browser and type in http://myserver and it should bring up the site. Does that time out too? Then if you have files and folders shared on the server, go to Windows Explorer and type in \\myserver and see if it gives you any errors.

Another quick thought popped into my head. Does your server have a staticly-assigned IP address (in your LAN)? If not, maybe there's a DHCP issue with the router. See if anything changes by rebooting the router. If not, assign a static IP addy to the server.

pk - thanks for your comment. To my shame, I've just traced the problem to a mindless oversight. Proxy exception was wrong.
