Can't Connect to Server
There is more information you can get. Use the "verbose" option on
the LineMode browser to find out what went wrong:
www -v http://myhost.domain:80/
What do you get? A load of trace messages. There are several cases.
- The browser can't look up the name of the host. If it can, it
will display "Parsed address as" message. If not, try fixing
your name server or
/etc/hosts file, or quoting
the IP number of the host in decimal notation (like
128.141.77.45) instead.
- The browser can get to the host but gets
"Connection
refused" status back.
- Your browser gets an error number but prints "error message
not translated". This is because when it was compiled on your
platform it didn't know what form the error message table
took. Try the same thing form a unix platform for example.
- You get some network error like "network unreachable".
Depending on whether the IP network is your responsibility or
not, and your attitude to life, either fix it, try again in an
hour's time, or complain to someone.
