First, thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
But, I'm not quite there yet.
When I typed (address='192.168.1.103'), Firefox still popped up on my
MAC,
but with the machine address, not localhost. I still could not attach
from the PC.
I thought maybe the local copy of Firefox was getting in the way of
remote access. So
I then tried disabling the local browser by typing
notebook(address='192.168.1.103', open_viewer=false)
but while the browser didn't open on the MAC, there was no change in
behavior
in the PC.
So, I tried turning off security, thinking maybe the encryption was
getting in the way.
I used 'inotebook', instead of notebook. The message told me I was
crazy. Crazy or
not, it still doesn't work.
The perplexing thing about it is that the underlying system works. If
I open my PC
Firefox to 192.168.1.103/~neallaurance I get connected to the MAC OX
X Personal
Web Sharing (a MAC facility that runs on Apache), with no problem at
all. The problem
seems to be with remote access to port 8000. The port that the Web
Sharing is on works fine.
I compared the Firefox on the MAC to the Firefox on the PC. All the
options are set the same,
including the encryption methods. Nothing obvious there.
Oh, and I did try changing the 'http' to https' in the browser
address. No effect.
I am a newbie at SAGE (and at the MAC, for that matter). I am trying
to use it to develop a course in
electronics, and ultimately, I want to take it on the road in my MAC
book, but it certainly would be
nice to do the development on my (much) bigger PC.
Any more suggestions appreciated.
