I'm not sure what "(networked)" has to do with it.
If you are running the browser and the server on the
same machine, then an outside network is not needed.

What do you mean by non-networked?  Networking capability
is something inside the kernel.  You can build a kernel
without that capability, but why?

Get what to work?  You need to be more specific about what
you have tried and what the result was.

If you want to run a web server and browse it from the same
machine, you normally point the browser at http://localhost.
Is that what you are doing?  Of course, you have to ifconfig
localhost first (but this is not an issue in BasicLinux --
it automatically configures localhost for you).
