Hi Tirumal..
First check if your java web start is isntalled properly...
J2RE ver 1.4.2_14 should do.
Also you need to make an entry in your host file of your local machine which recides at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc. open it in notepad and make an entry in the end like this:
10.0.1.1     <XI server host name>
where 10.0.1.1 is the ip address of your xi server. this is because when you open IR or ID, the link address has the hostname and not the ip address. If you dont map the actual ip address with the host name, your IE is not able to recognise the server.
Also make an entry in your IE TOOLS->Internet options -> connections -> Lan Settings ->Advanced and in Exceptions block add this ip address and host name.
this should work.
