Newbie Question - starting up Zope
Hello - I have installed Zope on an older Win95 laptop with the hope of being able to do offline "in the field" demonstrations of some work. This installation will startup correctly if I have an active connection to the Internet, however the Zope server does not start properly if there is no active connection. I have disabled the firewall with same results. Any suggestions emailed directly are greatly appreciated.

It's not a Zope problem per se. I think that Windows 95 does not load the internet protocol stack at all if you don't have a connection, so there is nothing for Zope (or any other server) to connect to. I don't have that problem anymore, but I remember having had it. I think (and it's been so long that I don't quite remember) that if you set up another internet connection - a LAN type, not a dialup type - and set your internet options not to require connecting via the dialup, then it will work even if you are not actually connected. Also I would make sure you don't require a network login for booting Windows. Cheers, Tom P
