Hi Craig;

I just tried and yes, the fakewww server is running but nothing connects on 
ports 3001 - 3003.

Here are the steps I would take in debugging this problem.

1) are you running a root?  The server process uses the libpcap routines to 
generate raw packet arrival timing information.  I've seen cases where 
running as a non-root user causes the process to crash.

2) from the command line below, you using the -a, -d, and -r options
        -a = generate the admin.html page (yes that displays)
        -d = turn on level 1 debugging
        -r = record web100 data for client-to-server test
  Try starting the process in the foreground "/usr/local/sbin/web100srv 
-ad".  This will enable level 1 debugging messages and you can look for 
error messages.

3) check to see if the web100srv process is running
        a) use ps to check the process table
        b) use netstat -nat to see that 3001 is in a listen state.

4) what's in the log file?  Look in /usr/local/ndt/web100srv.log to see if 
there are any error messages.

5) try testing with the command line client and localhost 
(/usr/loca/bin/web100clt localhost) this should avoid any firewall or 
packet filter problems.

Let us know what you find.
