I'm using Eclipse SDK 3.1.2 on Windows XP and I have trouble viewing the
Help Contents, which should show up when choosing "Help Contents" from the
Help menu.
The internal browswer says:
"Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The
page might be temporarily unavailable."

I configured my Eclipse to display the help topics using external browser
(Internet Explorer), but it still doesn't work. The address bar displays:
http://127.0.0.1:49352/help/index.jsp
And IE says:
"The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might
be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your
browser settings."

I don't have a clue how to solve this problem. If anyone can help me out,
I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Since it is attempting to use HTTP to that odd port of 49352, it's
_possible_ that any firewall you have running could be blocking it. A
quick test of this theory would be to disable your firewall and try
viewing the Help. However, I _don't_ recommend you leaving your
firewall down just to work around the problem. You'd need to figure out
how to either open that port for local use in your firewall config, or
else find a way to tell Eclipse to read local files rather than using HTTP.
