Thanks. I tried that and got some break through. Now instead of "error code 2" ping 127.0.0.1, gives "Destination unreachable" and for ping localhost, it gives unknown host name.
Also "ipcongif" still doesnt work. -Sunit -----Original Message----- From: Parsons Technical Services [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 11:28 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: PROBLEM STARTING TOMCAT----------------PLEASE HELP Sunit, This is moving off topic for the list, but here it goes. First READ all of these instruction. You may find your problem without having to go through all these steps. Open Network Connections. One at a time right click a network device and select properties. Select uninstall. Do this for all connections. This will cause any network connections to stop functioning(doesn't sound like they currently are so no problem) Reboot the machine. If you have a NIC card then windows should detect it and install the drivers. Return to Network Connections. Follow these instructions to reinstall the loopback driver: To manually install the adapter, follow the steps below: Click Start, and choose Control Panel Double-click Add Hardware and then click Next. Select Yes, I have already connected the hardware, and then click Next. Scroll down and click Add a new hardware device, and then click Next. Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list, and then click Next. Click Network adapters, and then click Next. In the Manufacturers box, click Microsoft. In the Network Adapter box, click Microsoft Loopback Adapter, and then click Next. Click Next once more and then click Finish. After the adapter is installed successfully, you can configure its options manually, as with any other adapter. You need to allocate a TCP/IP address. To manually configure the adapter's options: Select Start | Control Panel and then choose Network Connections. Choose Local Area Connection 2 and click Change settings of this connection Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click Properties. Here you can configure the IP address and Subnet Mask. Set IP to something like 192.168.0.2 Make sure connection is Enabled when viewed from Network Connections. You should see the IP in the Details window located in the lower left of the window when you select the connection. Until you have this fixed you will be unable to get TC to run. If after this you are still unable to get a ping 127.0.0.1 to work then you have some issues that need resolved and are off topic for the list (IMHO).
