That sounds right.  Thanks Mikhail.

Ray, does Windows XP have a command-line telnet like Unix's?  If so, try
this: first, on the server machine:

  $ telnet localhost 80
  GET /q HTTP/1.0

The response should be an HTTP redirect to http://???/q/, where I'm not
sure what ??? will be.

Now try it from a different machine and see what the redirect looks
like.  This might be a DNS or web server problem.
