No, what's happening is that it's just not running. Do this:

netstat -an | grep -i listen

(hey, Scott!)

I'll bet there isn't anything running on that port.

As far as getting lynx or any browser to hit anything on a non-standard port
(port 80 is standard), you have to specify the port:

lynx http://address:port
