What port are you trying to hit the server with? If this is the document
server (which it sounds like it is), then it is on port 8000 or so.

Get on the system and do a netstat -a. See what port the 
process is listening on. Then try and connect to the port (be it with
netscape or just telnet to the port).



Hope this helps.
