GeneWeb - Problem

A frequently encountered problem is the following:

You launched the GeneWeb daemon "gwd" and it answers normally as indicated in the chapter "How to start with GeneWeb", section "Command gwd".

Problem

When you enter the address in your navigator, e.g.:

     http://localhost:2317/smith
The navigator answers that you have to connect to the network, and that it cannot work off line.

This problem happens with some versions of Internet Explorer.

Solution

Under Internet Explorer, select the menu "Display", "Internet options". Then, in menu "Connection", active "do not use proxy for local addresses".

If it does not work any more, we suggest you to use another navigator, e.g. Netscape (which is free now).
