File "C:\Temp\Paul's Site/lib/python1.5\BaseHTTPServer.py", line 97, in server_bind hostname, hostnames, hostaddrs = socket.gethostbyaddr(host) socket.error: host not found
I think that on WinNT there was some kind of loopback adapter I could install. I can't find an equivalent for Windows 95.
Paul, I don't use Win95 (or Win98) so the following advice could be totally bogus, but you should have a file on your system: C:\windows\hosts If it's called hosts.sam, copy or rename it to hosts. The file should have a line in it that looks something like: 127.0.0.1 localhost If you add an entry that matches what BaseHTTPServer.py considers to be host, you should be okay.
