thanks,

a. "123/"

b. "test/123/"

What is your root test folder, what your IP links to in Apache, &c.?
For example, I once used:
http://192.168.0.250/index.htm
when it could have been:
file:///C:/Program%20Files/Apache/rootsite/index.htm
because my Apache IP was 192.168.0.250 and it linked to:
C:\Program Files\Apache\rootsite

I use WAMP (windows/apache/mysql/php), and that links directly to C:\wamp\www on my Windows box, and that's pretty convenient. But if you have dial-up, you'll have a new I.P address each time you connect. I got a program called No-IP DUC, for www.no-ip.org, which updates your WAMP each time you connect.

Errm, localhost, anyone?

If you are running a Web server on your machine, use http://localhost/... or http://127.0.0.1/... to refer to that same machine.

Oops... I forgot about that. And normally http://localhost/ is set for every package you download, whether Apache, wamp, etc.
