You don't need an HTTP server to test out your skills with HTML. Just
write up your pages and use the `file:' URL, such as:
file:/home/rpt/experiments/html/test.html
If the ``and such'' refers to more advanced web features like CGI or
server administration, then yes, you do need a server.

localhost ought to do it.

Despite whatever you can set up, that's up to Netscape, really.

And if the PPP link is up, your server isn't found? In any case, I'd
check to make sure your loopback route is installed.
