Hello,
As others pointed out it sounds like the server is not running probably.
Could you post the output of your server?
It should look something like
	...
	=> Starting Instiki on http://localhost:2500
	=> Data files are stored in C:/Documents and Settings/cla/My
Documents/Wiki/storage/2500
	[2005-09-10 16:47:03] Taking a Madeleine snapshot
	[2005-09-10 16:47:03] INFO  WEBrick 1.3.1
	[2005-09-10 16:47:03] INFO  ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25)
[i386-mswin32]
	[2005-09-10 16:47:03] INFO  WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=1280
port=2500
	...
And you should try to do a
	ping localhost
and/or
	ping 127.0.0.1
and report if they work (which they should).
Regards,
Claudius
