Yes and yes, as far as I can tell. If Zope weren't running or if he/I were hitting the wrong IP or port, we wouldn't get *any* message other than a connection refused. Zope's listening, but there's no *there* there.

A Not Found error is exactly what I see when I try to hit something that there's no process handling requests for. "Refused" would imply that something was actually available to turn back the request. Perhaps your system is configured specially, but I still suspect the server isn't running. What OS is your Zope installation on?
