LNM Shortcut doesnt work

[Chris]

I have installed it now LNM shortcut has appeared on my desktop on the server but doesnt work. Gives a message this page cannot be displayed. I tried to change computer name with ip address as well but no luck.

 

Can it be run any other way

The error page that I get when I load 'Learning Network Manager 2005' icon from the desktop is:

 

************************************************************

The requested URL could not be retrieved

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

While trying to retrieve the URL: slc-lnm-01:443

 

The following error was encountered:

 

Unable to determine IP address from host name for slc-lnm-01

The dnsserver returned:

 

Name Error: The domain name does not exist.

This me

Does anyone have any ideas? Please help!!

Have you disabled the proxy settings? Or added the local address to the browsers exemptions list?

This helps when you want a computer to look at itself rater than a remote site. I've always found IE to be a bit 'forgetful' when it comes to local browsing.

Yeah I have tried that but i am still having no luck.

 

I disabled the proxy which didn't give the same error as before, but gave 'The page cannot be displayed'.

 

Don't know what to do....

No idea if this is any help, but:

 

The LNM shortcut points to the following URL:

 

http://localhost/ManagementConsole

 

And I have just removed the exceptions to our local IP addresses from the Advanced section of LAN Settings in Internet Explorer options, and I can still get the shortcut to work.
