In case anyone else runs into this problem (either people on the list
or those finding the original question via Google). Here is the
problem + solution.

* in my setup, localhost = OSX
* server = virtual box session running ubuntu

Thus, I try to load up the webpage via:

  http://server:1456

this can load up the webpage, but the problem is that clock1.html
hardcodes "localhost", so it tries to open websocket at
"localhost:1456" rather than "server:1456"

Fixing this solved the problem (and the demos now work).
