[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: Can't access "help contents" from a workbenc

Hello there.

You'll have noticed that the URL refers to the IP address 127.0.0.1, which
is the fakey address given to your machine's loopback interface. IOW, no
TCP was leaving your machine at that point; Eclipse launches a separate
Tomcat server for documentation and was merely trying to point its browser
at that server (listening on your machine on port 59111 in your failure
message). 

Take a look here for more info:
http://www.eclipse.org/search/search.cgi?t=All&t=Doc&t=Downloads&t=Wiki&wf=574a74&q=help+server&x=9&y=10

Hope this helps.
Steve
