I have the same problem over here to. for the mean time I'm using the text based browser. When I go into the menu "review configuration" is says that my e-smith-manager address is
www.blahblahblah.blah/e-smith-manager. when i plug that address into my web brower, the broswer isn't looking in the right direction. but when I plug in my "window sharing name" ie. BLah-smith the browser knows where to go cause it's looking at the right ip. I've even modifiyed the e-smith-manager host to host on the internal ip address, no self (locathost) and still it' fails to work. altho ftp works fine. and I can open my ftp connection to hostname.domainname.workgroup.
One interesting point tho. in my windows environment, my network neighboor shows my e-smith belonging to a different workgroup, other than the one i specified. So I'm thinking it has to do w/permissions. and that's the reason i can't get to the webpage. ???.
I know it's a little far fetched.
