This seems to me a query about whether the router might be doing some
firewalling that prevents the two computers from communicating, correct?
They are on the same subnet and subnet mask. I run servers on a couple
other machines on this LAN: my old MythTV machine, which sits on the shelf
next to the new one, still serves MythWeb on port 80 just fine to other
hosts on this LAN; and I run a wiki on my office computer on an alternate
port, and I can access that page just fine from other machines on my LAN
as well. It's true this is anecdotal evidence, but to my thinking it
significantly decreases the possibility that my router is somehow causing
MythWeb to be inaccessible outside localhost.
