The netstat -na | grep LISTEN command produces this output:

tcp4    0   0  *.139          *.*          LISTEN
tcp4    0   0  *.445          *.*          LISTEN
tcp4    0   0  *.901          *.*          LISTEN
tcp46   0   0  *.9545         *.*          LISTEN
tcp4    0   0  127.0.0.1.25   *.*          LISTEN

Both http://192,168.0.4:9545 goes to my site. The http://192.168.0.4:80
produces this error:

Looking up 192.168.0.4

Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile http://192.168.0.4/
