invalid ip addr on hg serve

[Martin Marques]

First, I want to apologies if someone felt offended by my quotes. It was 
never my intention, and even more, my real intention is for people to 
have *more knowledge*.

Anyway...

Well, yes. You are serving hg on the net, so you should have basic 
knowledge of what you are doing. Else, bad things happen, believe me. :-(

Don't get me wrong. You don't have to be an senior network manager, but 
know what an IP address is, what's a netmask and what it's for, route, 
broadcast, network interfaces, etc. At least the basics.

Maybe most of what I listed above you already know, but I felt that the 
knowledge of what the *0.0.0.0* meant was important.

Well, you can use Mercurial without ever running serve. In my work we 
don't use serve, we interact pulling/pushing with ssh. At home I got 
hgwebdir working, which made me have to read somethings of CGI (I'm more 
of a modapache guy :-) ).

If there's anything I can help you with, related with this issue, let me 
know.
