An address is made up of several different parts. You have to have at
least three parts to every address and some addresses have extra things
added to the end. The three required parts to an address are protocol,
hostname and port.
telnet://spear.kilnar.com:1066
^^^^^^^^^|||||||||||||||| ^^^
| | |
Protocol | Port
Hostname
The protocol and port are usually filled in with defaults by the client
application, so the user usually only has to fill in one part. Here's a
breakdown:
In Netscape all three of these get you tot he same place:
spear.kilnar.com [Protocol and port are assumed]
http://spear.kilnar.com/ [Port is assumed to be 80]
http://spear.kilnar.com:80/ [All information provided by user]
So, what I'm getting at is that someone is already using your address.
That means that the most likely culprit is the port number. telnet to port
8080 and make sure that it's not being used. If it is being used, then
pick a different port.
