No path needed but index.htm is needed.

I have it working now.  Establish connection (ethernet etc.)
On server, 192.168.1.2, go to directory to be made accessible.
httpd

On client go into a browser such as links:
g
192.168.1.2/index.htm   or the name of any other file there.

I should not name the whole path, just the computer's IP and the file 
name.

I was trying to do this without the index.htm and this httpd does not seem 
able to automatically supply index.htm as I expected it to.
