Added

by doing that the URL changed to

and the problem became

*** No Instance Available ***

You need to set this for wotaskd too and restart it. Search for localhost on the wiki.


BTW: This is the way MacOSX in System Preferences defines the IP address.
*************************
From Personal Web Sharing, (this is what turns on Apache on client MacOSX)

http://173-160-202-171-washington.hfc.comcastbusiness.net/

because that address is the default DNS for the computer? That's how Comcast stated the situation to me.

Looks odd to me. Are you trying to reach this box form outside? Otherwise, this should be localhost.


If no WOHost project setting specified, or if I change to <- WOHost=173.160.202.171>

That setting is nonsense (and ignored).  Use ONE of these correct forms
-DWOHost=173.160.202.171
-WOHost 73.160.202.171



in the project setting I get the full qualified DNS name and Safari can't find the Comcast server, if I use <localhost> then I get <No instance available>, I think that <localhost> is the way to go for the <WOHost> parameter.

Yes.


Would be nice to globally set that in Eclipse/WOLips.

So the problem now is, "wotaskd <--> myApplication", or maybe it should stated that wotaskd needs to run on localhost==127.0.0.1?

Thanks for the teachings,

Why does it say "-washington.hfc.comcastbusiness.net" after the IP address?
Do you have a WOHost setting in the Eclipse launch config (WO tab)?
