Hi!Maybe my question sounds a bit silly for all you profis,but I just wanted to know if this problem with resolving in browser is generic for Win2k, or maybe you just happen to know how to solve that problem. It works fine of course for Can you give me some hints? Thanks a lot.

Silly question:resolving 'http://localhost' in browser
- Thread starter lipkaj
- Start date
dns is not running or you can add the localhost to the hosts file
it is supposed to contain a line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
If 'something' 'somewhere' gives 'some' error, excpect random guesses or no replies at all. Please specify details.

OK. This question is not for this forum, sorry for that. But yor reply does not solve the problem. That i know: dns is running (client-mode of course) and the hosts file does have this entry. Moreover the priority is higher for the hosts file! That is something different. When i write the result is a jump to some other server in my city.
There would be no problem cause I can always use 127.0.0.1, but as i am writing web apps in .net, the problem is in web services (to be exact webreferences, when the computer doesnt recognize localhost).
But i understand that is too trivial for you, so i will transfer to another forum. Sorry for disturbing. I didnt read exactly before putting up the post.
All the best.

The post is ok, don't worry.
if you jump to another server on localhost, check if you browser has the Bypass Proxy for local address checked and fill in localhost if needed in the Bypass entries.

Thanks a lot. it worked, but im wondering beacuause i tried before manually turning off all proxies. But it seems to be working. Now i will have to reconfigure my whole web app. I just didnt understand 'if you jump to another server on localhost' - but nevermind. The important thing is it works!
