"Object required" error when browing "Portal Content"

Question

Hi, all
   I installed latest "dwi_701_dev_core11_as_java_epc.v2" in my local server, but when I browse NetWeaver Portal homepage remotely , I got an "Object required" error in my IE. But if I logon with "Remote desktop connection" to the server and access the portal locally, it works ok. I don't know the reason, did anyone here meet this issue before?

Hi Ray,
As per your posting in forum, you have said that when you give the URL as  http://localhost:59000/*** then you are not facing any problem and when you are accessing the portal from remote system using the IP Address  as http://127.0.0.1:59000/***"  then you are getting error...
There is nothing strange issue with it.. all you need to do is to configure your IP Adress with a specific server name in HOST File.
For that :
1) First, go to  the following path :
         C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
2) In the ...\etc  folder you can see  a file "HOSTS". Open the HOSTS file using Text editor like Notepad or Editplus.
3) Add the IP Address and give some Server name to that IP address.
For Example :
127.0.0.1      Yangserver
4) Save and Exit.
Now you can access the portal by giving the url as :
http://Yangserver:59000/**  *
Make sure that the IP Address of you Portal server i.e 127.0.0.1 should be static i.e it  should not change regularly.
Hope this is useful...
Thanks,
