I recently tried doing some Zope development on a laptop and ran into a problem: when I updated a product the updates did not "take." In particular, when I edited the text in a .dtml file and restarted Zope, I still saw the old text when I got to the appropriate point (the file was wrapped in an HTMLFile() and used for creating a new instance of one of the products in the package). I think I checked all of the following: * the file was getting updated * all instances of explorer were shut down * MSIE options set to "Check for newer version of stored page on every visit to the page" A notable peculiarity was that whenever I tried to access my local zope, I would get a "you are offline, do you wish to go online" message (I even used localhost as the machine name!). I would say yes, it would say it couldn't connect and ask if I wanted to try again. I said yes, but then I ran into the problems described above. Zope 2.2.2 on MS W2K with MS IE 5.0. Does this ring any bells with anyone? Is it an IE problem? a Zope problem? an interaction?
