I have seen programs that try to resolve the address like it was a name. IE is not my favorite browser by a long shot, especially when things get interesting. You could use curl or telnet to test things. Adjust these sample commands: curl " http://192.168.1.2:40 " telnet 192.168.1.2 40 If the telnet command connects, you could try: GET / Success in both cases would be some HTML.
