reaching localhost:8085

[mosta]

Not really knowing what I'm doing at all, I'm trying to set up a proxy with HoTTProxy. I run the configuration utility and it tells me to go to http://localhost:8085/ . but my browser can never load that page. it times out. I turn off ZoneAlarm. No help. And I do have a wireless router (running ethernet through it--old belkin). I figure it must be the router? But I can't see anywhere to make progress (and I've usually been able to figure out things before...). any idea? thanks.
