Hi there,<br />
<br />
I have a windows 2003 server running sp1 and all the latest updates. iis6 is installed and sharepoint services v2. The server also has 2 nics running 2 different subnets. The network is working fine and there are no browsing issues.<br />
<br />
If i try to browse the shortcut for sharepoint admin ie <a href="http://localhost:xxxx" rel="ugc">http://localhost:xxxx</a>&nbsp;it comes up with page cannot be found. If i type in the server name in its place ie <a href="http://servername:xxxx" rel="ugc">http://servername:xxxx</a>&nbsp;the page comes up without any problem. <br />
<br />
If i try to ping 127.0.0.1 i do get a response.<br />
<br />
The problem is we are running project server on this box and it is affecting the page and database connectivity.<br />
<br />
Hope you can help.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
