Hi Mohammed,

I am not able to understand how 4.6 is installed on XP.

the solution for your problem try to run at command prompt <b>sapgui <IP>/<hostname> 01</b>

If still problem open c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\services in notepad and add the following.

<b>sapms<SID> 3601/TCP</b>

where SID is the SAP System ID that had given.

i tried what you said. still my sapgui hangs saying "waiting for response.

"c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\services" file is having the following entry .

sapmsJ2E 3601/tcp # SAP System Message Port

what i installed is SAP Netweaver 4.7.

Hi Mohamed,

Can you please check the SID which you entered in

"c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\services" file. seems you had given JAVA SID in the file (sapms<b>J2E</b>)

Please give your ABAP SID not JAVA SID.

What is your ABAP SID

first, XP is not a server is a client system, and SAP 4.7 supposed to be installed on a window server 2000/2003 etc.

second, read the installation procedure carefully and follow it.
