Barbara, Zope is probably trying to resolve your computername with a reverse DNS lookup, that's why it wants to connect to the Internet every time you start it.. If you add your own IP address and your own hostname to your c:\windows\hosts file, it may stop. It may not, however :-) An alternate solution would be to turn off "autoconnection" to the Internet. It may take longer to start Zope but it should still start... Barbara Pfieffer wrote:
I just downloaded Zope and I'm really excited about what I want to do with it.
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!
