MS SBS 2003 - Access to localhost on LAN client

[DannyTEM]

Hi all,

We are running MS SBS 2003, ISA enabled. All clients on Win XP Pro.

On one of the client machines we have apache installed, which over the past few weeks has been visible but intermittently via

http://clientname/

from many of the other clients on the network.

Any ideas which may prevent access and why it should be up and down? Using the IP instead of the client name does not make a difference, and the computer name pings and resolves properly.

Thanks,

Dan

If it is not accessible via IP then you can eliminate all DNS issues.

I would focus on the hardware side of this. Verify that all cables are good and check the switch it is plugges into and make sure that the port is not going bad.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark

Thanks for the post - however apart form the apache problem, this PC is perfectly visible under normal networking tasks etc so cables and the switches cannot be to blame - it just does not seem to want to allow access to apache fairly sporadically.

Thanks anyway,

Dan
