Steps followed further:
1) Have tried the below commands to check the status of dcmctl:
G:\OracleHomes\oms10g\opmn\bin>G:\OracleHomes\oms10g\dcm\bin\dcmctl.bat getstate
Current State for Instance:EnterpriseManager0.l-716429
Component Type Up Status In Sync Status
================================================================================
1 home OC4J Up True
2 HTTP_Server HTTP_Server Up True
2) Also tried the below command to check the status of opmnctl.
D:\Documents and Settings\arijit>G:\OracleHomes\oms10g\opmn\bin\opmnctl.exe status
Processes in Instance: EnterpriseManager0.l-716429
------------------------------------------------+---------

dcm-daemon | dcm-daemon | 2068 | Alive
OC4J | home | 2560 | Alive

3) After that tried to "Retry" the Web cache configuration Assistant, but still the error is continuing.
Please someone help.

Hi,
Have made the %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file as below:
#127.0.0.1 localhost
172.16.58.203 L-716429
And "Retry" Web cache configuration. Same error is popping up.
Please help.
