I figured that part out, thanks Jeff. I am trying to work with Ken on this
and it would be easier if I could post my last reply to him so that you can
see what is going on and maybe offer some help. Okay? Thank you Jeff.

This is what I did to get into the browser with telnet. I opened a command
prompt in windows and did
telnet www.ohmster.com 80
The window stayed black. I typed this:

GET / HTTP/1.0<return>
Host: www.ohmster.com<return>
<hit return again to leave this line blank>

I got back the page. Never mind even trying to setup the virtuals, I cannot
even find my GET in the ethereal output! See below for details...

What do you think, Jeff?

Okay Ken,

I was able to telnet in as you said without enabling telnet, this is good. I
ran the ethereal program and managed to figure out how
to only display http protocol. One can go much further with this and break it
down with more filtering, it would be neat if I could
filter down to the host part but this is too hard for me to figure out.

I wish that the network was more "quiet" for this test but even filtering
only to http, I get a ton of stuff to weed through in the
very short time that the test is run. I cannot find my telnet test in the
packets that I captured. My windows machine has an IP
address of 192.168.0.3 (On the LAN, served up by the linux machine.) and
nowhere in the source or destination fields of ethereal do
I see 192.168.0.3. It is like I got by the capture somehow.

I don't get it, I connected to port 80 with telnet, saw the page in the
telnet window so the server definitely answered, but I
cannot find my GET request anywhere in the ethereal capture! There is so much
traffic to weed through but I cannot find my shot at
the browser, what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks Ken,
Paul
