Trouble getting to admin login screen

[Pooligan96]

Well, I have looked through about 15 pages in here for the answer to this, and so far nothing, so I figured I would go ahead and post. Now, when I right click on the icon in my task bar and go to administration, I constantly get a website not responding error. Every once in a while, it is a different one that I get, but I did not think to write it down, and I have not got it again yet. Anything that you can tell me to try and solve this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ok, I just got the other error message I mentioned above. It says "558 DNS Not Found : This web page could not be opened, please verify the address and try again". Now, I have verified, and reverified the address over and over. It is trying to open http://localhost:14534/ ..... anything that I should try? Thanks.

This is just not normal. "localhost" should resolve to your loopback IP 127.0.0.1 directing to your local machine. This should be defined in the windows hosts file.

Perhaps some kind of spyware modified this file. You can open it with a simple text editor like notepad.
It is located at \WINDOWS\HOSTS (Windows XP or Windows 2000 in [SystemDirectory]\system32\drivers\etc\hosts ).

Except comments (starting with #) this file should include "127.0.0.1 localhost" as the only entry. If this is not the case you most likely have some spyware on your computer that modifies the windows hosts file.

I checked it, and it reads just as you say it should. Now I did try uninstalling the server and client, deleting everything that was left behind, and reinstalling them both. Still same issue. Is there anything else that I could try? Thanks again.
