Note that this isn't an error, it's a warning. This may seem a semantic quibble, but there is a difference. Analog is quite happy to process log files that don't contain a byte count, it is just warning you that any of the reports that refer to bytes either won't exist, (if all of the lines contain no byte counts) or will be unreliable (if only some lines contain byte counts). To get rid of the warning, enable the bytes-sent field in the Extended Properties tab in the IIS5 managemnet tool. > 2.

If you open a command prompt and type PING -a 11.22.33.44 can you resolve it? Analog relies on the underlying OS to do DNS resolution. If you machine can't resolve the address, then Analog can't resolve it. (One of the helper tools does use a whois lookup to see who owns the block of addresses that a failed DNS lookup falls into, but, as far as I know, this tool doesn't work on NT. But I haven't looked at it in almost 2 years, so more of the dependencies may have been ported to NT since then).
