Disconnected Web issue

[MyBrainIsFull]

With two desktop browsers and a mobile phone connected to the lan via wifi

I start a desktop Firefox session and browse shippers, but none of the records from the suppliers.tps come over, like FedEx  ups etc
I enter one shipper in Firefox (upper half image 1)
I enter one shipper in Chrome (lower half image 1)
I cant get the browser to sync
Nothing I do with the browser will hit the NT server.

If I force the url to 127.0.0.1 I can see the server take the request, but still no sync.
I then ask for suppliers or customers, nothing.

using a phone that has NO cache, i hit the server on 192 168 0 101-88 and it gets no records (img 2)

Is there some bug / setting in the examples that prevents the sync happening? 
Is there any way to force it to sync?

Image 3 shows suppliers.tps

>>I can't get the browser to sync

first thing to check would be the firebug console in the browser to see if there are any errors there.
And, I think you  noted, but the "server side URL" is of course critically important. It's 127.0.0.1 by default, but that's not going to work for other machines or devices.
