samba/swat localhost:901 not opening in browser.

I've been using samba for quite some time to share my printer with other computers in the house, I originally configured samba using the swat configuration utility. Recently I decided I want to implement a share folder to better facilitate moving stuff around on the home network, so I opened up localhost:901 in a browser and the page cannot be found.

I have samba and xinetd installed and running, my shared printers are working and my computer shows up on the network, afaik swat is configured correctly (as in it worked a while ago, but for some reason has ceased functionality)

here is my /etc/xinet.d/swat file, as you can see disable is false, everything else is set to defaults. is there any other reason that port 901 won't display the swat page that I ought to be looking at?

service swat
{
    port            = 901
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/swat
        log_on_success  += HOST DURATION
        log_on_failure  += HOST
        disable                 = no
}

What browser are you using? Jumanji?

The problem seems to be browser independent. I can't pull up the page in chromium or firefox, and I've never tried Jumanji.

Try to get there via '127.0.0.1:901' instead of 'localhost:901'.

I tried that too, I'm afraid that it didn't work either.
