SAP NW 2004s ABAP Trail - Connection refused - question?

[Former Member]

Hi!

I instalad "minisap" or better say - SAPNW2004sABAPTrail,

first SAP server, then GUI, on Win 2003 platform, the installation was fine,

but when trying to connect GUI to the server, all I get is error (see below),

although I follow the instructions on how to specify server

(with SSID "NSP", Server ID = 00, and on "localhost"),

please help with this, and yes, I did install Microsoft Loopback adapter,

this is the the error message I'm getting:

partner not reached (host 127.0.0.1, service sapdb00)

WSAECONNREFUSED: Connection refused

Do you want to see detailed error description?

YES NO

hi,

check the file HOSTS in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC

is there an entry like

127.0.0.1 localhost

and also check the file "services" with all entries with sapdp* and sapgw*
