You should use "ifconfig" with no arguments to see all interfaces on the FBSD box, and it's probably not PLIP, Loopback, PPP, etc. that you're interested in. Use "netstat -anf inet" on the server and see if port 80 or 8080 is "LISTENING", and on what address. If the server is LISTENING on the FBSD box on the correct ports, but nmap doesn't show it, then I would assume a firewall problem, but I'm not "on the ground" there. If you do see a LISTENING entry, use that interface (assuming it's Ethernet and one that it accessible from your laptop) as the entry in the laptop's hosts file. 192.168.1.255 is a broadcast address and should not be used for the configuration of a webserver (is that what "pound daemon" is? Think so, can't remember previous mail at this point). HTH, KDK -- The full impact of parenthood doesn't hit you until you multiply the number of your kids by thirty-two teeth.
