When you try the IP address, do you get _anything_? If you get *some* kind
of page returned (even a 404), but not the right one, then you can set up a
WINS server or put a hosts file entry in to your desktop. If you get no
connection at all, then there's something else wrong, too, preventing you
from connecting to the server.
