[thelist] Microsoft Commerce Server 2002 problems

[Ken Schaefer]

Judging by:
a) the original error (cannot find server, or DNS error)
    -and-
b) the fix that you put in

the problem is name resolution. Your client machine can't resolve
<server-name>, as it either doesn't exist in the DNS (if you are using AD),
and it isn't looking at the NetBIOS name (if you're running native mode AD)
or that isn't the NetBIOS name of the server.

I'd talk to your systems administrator to try and resolve this.

Cheers
Ken

OK, I added a line for the server to the hosts file on my local pc and
now I can see the site - but I still don't understand why it couldn't
see one site but no problems on the other two - the address for the site
is http://<server-ip>/retail2002 which resolves to
http://<server-name>/retail2002/localeselection.aspx?returnurl=default.a
spx - the other just works with http://<server-ip>/netcatalogsitelet so
I imagine it's something to do with return url but I don't where to look
for this setting.

I have installed Commerce Server 2002 and the International Retail Site
and can browse from the host server without a problem.However when I try
to access the site from a browser on another machine I get the IE
"cannot find server or DNS error" message.

I have installed the netcatalogsitelet and netordersitelet and can see
them fine. All the same permissions and users. All using Windows
Authentication. Any ideas where to start?
