Hi Thomas,
<br>I installed Beacon 1.1 on my laptop (windows xp). At first it
appeared that my beacon was not working. I looked at the local loss
link and I found system@Myip# in the host name. The IP Address was unresolveable.
Neither my hostname or ip address appeared in the central loss or beacon
info links. I opened windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts and added
my ip mumber and host name. I had to do this on my laptop (dhcp)
and my node display (static IP) After stopping and starting the beacon,
my hostname appeared on the central loss and Beacon info pages. I
did these steps after verifying I had traffic leaving to the beacon server
on ports 10003 thru 10004. (ethereal)
<br>Thank you,
<br>Mike
