I run a win98 machine at home that has both dial-up networking (i.e., uses a modem to connect to a service provider) and also an ethernet card (not connected to a network). Both are bound to tcpip. When I point IE5 at Zope's address (Zope running on the same machine), I get the dial-up network requestor asking if I want to dial into the service provider. But if I cancel that or tell it to work offline, then I will connect to Zope correctly. On my previous computer, also running Win98, I did not have a network card. I had to connect to my service provider using dialup networking before I could connect to the web server on my own machine (I wasn't running Zope then). Apparently I had to connect to the service provider to get Windows to load the tcpip software.

I have some questions want to ask you. How can i use Zope without online?
D:\Zope2.0b4>"D:\Zope2.0b4\bin\python.exe" "D:\Zope2.0b4\z2.py"
I do it all the time with Windows NT4 SP5, (&@!) IE5 - and I am not even in that wonderful "offline mode". Do you have a working TCP/IP stack installed?
Perhaps upgrading to Zope 2.01 helps?
I have hosts file in my computer,
Well, mine is brain-dead enough to just have
127.0.0.1 localhost
(and that's purely for convenience, anyway).
Im trying to access my Zope installation at home (on a linux box) from a Win98 box, but I seem to have the same problem.
IE5 thinks it should be in "offline mode", and it doesnt care at all about the hosts file or that the 192.168.20.0 network is configured and up'n'running.
Outside IE5, everythink works as supposed to.
Maybe it would work better if I setup a dns...
