The URl for my CRM server is the default localhost. How
do I access this URL from another machine. The IP address
of the server does not connect me to the server.
Please help

Is this within your network? You might need to check the
machine name. It should be http://<machinename>/ to
access it. Also, make sure IIS has been started.

If you are trying to access it outside of your network,
you might want to make sure your firewall is not blocking
port 80 (default HTTP port).

Hope this helps,
Jairy

You need to verify connectivity to the CRM machine. Open a command prompt
and try this
ping ipaddressofcrmserver

this will at least tell you that you can contact the CRM server.

One the CRM server click start -run then do an IISRESET to restart the web
server.

try to connect from a browser again

Hi Sarah:

Can you give some detail as to your network configuration? Is CRM running on
a domain controller, are the clients part of the same domain?

If you open a dos prompt from the client and type: nslookup <servername>
does it resolve to the IP of the server?

John.
