Carl,

I haven't had a chance to play with WebMin yet, but I did a quick
Google search and found this that might help you out:
  http://www.swelltech.com/support/webminguide/index.html

Another thing you might want to try, in addition to the other suggestions,
is to verify that WebMin is actually listening for connections using
'netstat -ln'. I would imagine it would look something like this:

  [ken@byte-8 ken]$ netstat -ln
  Active Internet connections (only servers)
  Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
  tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

Hope this helps.

The browser  is invariably unable to connect. This must be so basic of a mistake that no one even bothers to mention it. At the same time, if there are some prerequisites, why are they never mentioned? I've tried every permutation of localhost that I can think of, {hostname}, $HOSTNAME, IP address, you name it. The result is always the same. It also fails to work between two networked machines that I am quite sure can see each other.
