Aack... I searched for an hour earlier, but didn't find anything, but after posting this, i guess I searched with the magic keywords and found this old thread: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...hp/t-5020.html

Sorry! I looked for a way to delete my post below, but did not see an option in the edit area screen.

Hi there,

I have nginx and php5-fastcgi running on my N800. With those tools, I'm planning to use a couple of simple web apps/ pages (e.g., tip calculator, photo viewer, etc.) on my n800. However, I found that I can't access localhost or 127.0.0.1 unless I have a real active connection --- which would render those web resources unaccessible unless it's connected to something. If I'm in offline mode, I get prompted to exit offline mode, or if I don't have a connection set up, nothing is found.

My question is this: Is there a way to create a fake loop-back connection to fool the N800 into thinking its connected to something so I can access the web server that I'm running?

Any help is appreciated!

I'm also trying to resolve this. Hordeman, link to thread you posted just takes me to index page of the forums, not specific thread...Still looking for answer....

I think bugs #339 and #1767 need your votes/comments in order to ensure this problem is fixed sooner rather than later.

hordeman, you're link doesn't seem to work?

In any case, after you've taken Milhouse's advice and voted, one way to get this to work in the meantime is to install minimo, which does allow access to a locally running webserver. I'm running moinmoin, by the way ...

i went looking for my old answer, and just now saw that you guys responded. anyhow, here's a cache of that thread. it's a workaround.... not quite a solution: http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:...lnk&cd=1&gl=us
