SAP Netweaver 2004s Sneak Preview - Partner not reached

Question

Hi all,
I've tried to search the forum for similar message but couln't find it so I post a new one, hopefully someone able to give some help.
I've installed the SAPNW sneak preview ABAP on XP, right after installation I'm able to logon to NSP system. But once I shutdown the computer and turn it on again, I won't be able to access the NSP.
The error message:
"partner not reached (host 127.0.0.1, service sapdp00)
WSAECONNREFUSED: connection refused
I'm not sure what happened, btw:
1. I have installed the MS loopback adapter
2. I've check the C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts & services file. Looks ok, I put them below for your reference
3. I've check the services,SAPNSP_00 & SAPDB: NSP are running
Is there anything need to be setup? Thanks a lot

Answer 1

Hi
Try
#127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 <computer name>
If the computer name is ABC but a reverse lookup returned “localhost”. This will lead to problem later on when starting the web application server.You can correct this problem by inserting a line ‘127.0.0.1  ABC’ into the host file.
Thanks
