Maybe you've got a firewall blocking the self-hosted web services Houdini needs to display the help system. You can also browse the help folder contents directly, but some links won't work correctly. /Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/12.1.230/Resources/houdini/help/_index.html

What operating system? As far as I recall, all OSes which Houdini run on come with system firewalls these days.
