- What's the problem?

Everything appears to work okay with the a network card plugged in and the CE device connected to the network. ZopeHTTPServer serves its data to its local IP address. When the network card is removed, however, the socket stuff does not want to run on 127.0.0.1. I've yet to discover if this is a CE problem or just the Python CE implementation of the socket module. Do other Win32 programs have this problem?

The original Win95 (and presumably latter versions as well as win98... I don't know) would not load the TCP/IP stack unless there is a network card, or the system is currently connected via Dial-up-networking. Maybe WinCE has the same bug, (or feature if you ask Microsoft...) -- Robin Dunn robin@AllDunn.com http://AllDunn.com/robin/ Try http://AllDunn.com/laughworks/ for a good laugh.
