Hi,

I ran into the same error. The problem is that I don´t have a static IP. Is this a problem - what if my IP changes after the installation? Any suggestions?

thanks

Ha,

I solved the problem myself... Just had to install the MS Loopback adapter on my win2k box.

Hi,

did you modify the hosts file as suggested?
