    Firstly, thanks for PHP-Dev, it is brilliant!
    I'm using 2.0.8 on Win XP. When I try to use the internal browser (IE I assume on mine), it does not find the file if I am not conected to the internet.
    It works fine when I'm on the LAN with an internet connection.
    I guess this is more an issue with IE, but if you are NOT connected to the internet, is there a way of getting the internal browser to work off-line?
    Thanks
    Tom

      do you have a ping to localhost? try to connect with telnet to the port you have set in the options - dialog. (normally set to 8080). Error messages??

      I have Apache2 set as localhost in win98se with port 80 and have changed the option port to 80 also.  But the internal preview still does not work.  In apache2 I have a built in php 4.3.7 and the devphp browser works just fine, but it is using the apache php 4.3.7 version. I am not sure just how this is affection the IDE though. -- Lloyd

      devphp has in builtin webserver. you cannot set the internal preview to another server but you can set the external Preview to the localhost and port you want. i think that the php-version should not be the problem.

      I can ping localhost on port 80 & 8080 ok, no error messages.
      In Options->general options on the Web Server tab, I have set local web server to:
      c:\Inetpub\phproot on port 8080
      for external web server I have put:
      http://localhost
      also tried http://localhost:80

      But I still get a message:
      The page cannot be displayed, Internet Explorer cannot find the server etc etc

      The internal server view works fine if I am connected to the internet over my ADSL connection, but when off-line I get this error.

      seems to be a nameserver problem.

      try http://127.0.0.1
      or http://127.0.0.1:80

      results??

      Thanks Urs,
      I put those settings in (http://127.0.0.1 and pointed to my IIS default web page again for the internal browser setting.
      Didn't work, but when I rebooted the PC, it all works fine now!!!
      So seemed to need a restart to pick up on the settings.
      All is fine now, thank you all for your help,
      Tom

      about the restart of your PC:
      you should send a bug report to bill gates.
      -:)
