FP98: General Information About Using "Localhost" as Server Name
ID: Q194214
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
SUMMARY
Microsoft FrontPage defaults to using the DNS name in TCP/IP networking to
identify a computer. If DNS is not active but it is bound to both TCP/IP
and the Client for Microsoft Networks, FrontPage uses the information on
the Identification tab in the Network Neighborhood Properties dialog box.
If the Computer Name and Domain boxes are empty, FrontPage uses the values
that TCP/IP stack returns.
If your system is not configured properly, "Default" will be used as
the server name. If FrontPage does not recognize the host name for
your computer, you can use localhost
in place of the original host name.
MORE INFORMATION
Run the FrontPage TCP/IP test to verify the host name and IP address
for your computer.
NOTE: The test should indicate that your computer is identified using the
name "Localhost" and that the IP address is 127.0.0.1. To run the TCP/IP
test, follow these steps:
- In Windows Explorer, double-click Tcptest.exe. This file is
installed in the following folder by default:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage\bin
- Click Start Test.
If the test is successful, Yes appears in all of the boxes. If No
appears in any of the boxes, then you either do not have full network
connectivity, or you do not have a valid TCP/IP configuration.
