Kind sir,
I thank you. I did check and disable the built-in firewall for Server 
2003, lest it interfere. Our other firewall is a wholly different 
computer. I have been wondering if it might have something to do with 
that, but I can't access localhost even when only hooked up to the 
internal network, using either a static IP, or the default setting, or 
the 127.0.0.1 IP.
