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