Hi Barbara, Yes, that online thing is a pain. It did not used to do that (I am sure some of the real smart Zope folks can tell you why...). Anyway, once you get Zope going on a Win PC, you can disconnect the Internet connection and keep using it as "localhost".

Here's the problem, when I start Zope, it keeps forcing me to connect to the Net. (I'm running Win98, BTW). Is there any way to run ZServer without being connected to the net? And how easy is it to transfer Zope files created on a Windows machine to a Solaris website? Or am I stuck hanging online all the time I'm working with Zope? Thanks in advance!
