Guest Newbie Coder Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Re: windows cannot find 127.0.0.1 Moshen, Do you have IIS installed? http://127.0.0.1 or type localhost \\127.0.0.1 won't exist -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) <mohsen_fakhari@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1188215230.287704.104790@57g2000hsv.googlegroups.com... > Hi > I've a problem reaching \\127.0.0.1 > When I type it in windows explorer,I got an error message: > windows cannot find '127.0.0.1'... > It's winXP SP2 on P3 and I disable my Norton Internet Security > What's wrong? > I hadn't this problem before. > Any thing is appreciated >

That specifies just the host, not a path on that host. If I told you to go to Orlando, that doesn't tell you which house to deliver a package. You can't do anything at the host. You need to specify some *path* on that host. For example, if you had a directory called "C:\Tools" and created a share on that directory called "tools" then you would enter \\127.0.0.1\tools to get there using a UNC.

Guest mohsen_fakhari@yahoo.com Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Re: windows cannot find 127.0.0.1 Unfortunately \\localhost doesn't work too.Just the same error message. And I don't think I need IIS because I want to show shared places on my computer not the default page of IIS.

Normally that works just fine. Only entering the hostn usually lists all (visible) shares on the computer

It will just show that it doesn't have any shares. It won't say it cannot connect. A newly installed computer might adjust its policies/firewall when you share a folder for the first time.

What happens if you disable your firewall? What happens if you use the LAN-side IP address of your NIC (i.e., the IP address assigned to the external interface of your NIC)?

It has some rules for loopback connetions and it is to permit them. As I said I disable the firewall when I test localhost but it doesn't work. And it is the same LAN-side IP too,but from other computers everything is Okay
Guest mohsen_fakhari@yahoo.com Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Re: windows cannot find 127.0.0.1 Although I think it's not related to IE (because I don't want the web server to responde) proxy settings are disabled
