BL3 to BL3 via ethernet in the same room.

On computer 192.168.1.2 I made a www directory, cd'ed there, created 
index.htm, typed httpd, then from the other BL3 computer typed lynx 
192.168.1.2.  Should it be lynx http://192.168.1.2/www/index.htm?
Or is the default /public_html ?

In a previous posting there was something about 'httpd -u www' but Steven 
said you only needed to be in the directory with index.htm, I think.
