I have installed the admin tools, do you mean I have to do something  
else?  What do you mean by "dropped"?

I don't see processes with those names, but I've got the machine all  
set up and running, its even running instances of my WebObjects app  
without difficulty.

A little more info:
- as before, cannot connect to localhost using Server Admin, but can  
connect from another machine
- cannot connect outbound using https -- http works fine
- _can_ telnet outbound to port 443
- the Sharing button in Workgroup Admin is greyed out, but again, I  
can connect from another machine and use it

Thanks for your help,
