Can not open client notebook to local SAGE server    
   WinXP Pro SP3 system.
I launch the VMPlayer v3.0 and it opens to a window with the SAGE VM. 
I launch SAGE VM and it prompts for NOTEBOOK, OFF or MANAGE. 
I type NOTEBOOK and it initializes and prompts to open Firefox to 192.168.172.128. 
I launch Firefox to that address and can not connect to the local SAGE server. 
I have disabled the Firewall and Virus Scanner but still get the same message. 
I have performed an ifconfig and get:

From what I have presented I see no errors and I simply do not understand why the browser will not connect to the SAGE server. I have used Firefox and IE8. I am at a point where I dont know what else to do. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but no change.
I sure could use some help getting SAGE operational again
 
 
Are you connecting to the correct port?
When I launched either browser, I first connected to 192.168.172.128 as was indicated in the VM window. After your comment, I tried again with 192.168.172.128:8000 with no success.
