[Zope] Something want to ask you!

[Thomas B. Passin]

I run a win98 machine at home that has both dial-up networking (i.e., uses a
modem to connect to a service provider) and also an ethernet card (not connected
to a network).  Both are bound to tcpip.  When I point IE5 at Zope's address
(Zope running on the same machine), I get the dial-up network requestor asking
if I want to dial into the service provider.  But if I cancel that or tell it to
work offline, then I will connect to Zope correctly.

On my previous computer, also running Win98, I did not have a network card.  I
had to connect to my service provider using dialup networking before I could
connect to the web server on my own machine (I wasn't running Zope then).
Apparently I had to connect to the service provider to get Windows to load the
tcpip software.
