Aprelium won't seem to respond to URL 127.0.0.1

[jfdutcher]

The message below occurs whether I choose 'Show Console' or 'Browse Website' after right-clicking the tray icon on Win 2000 Pro.
I have checked the /SYTEm32/etc/hosts and 127.0.0.1 is included there.
I have added 127.0.0.1 to my I.E. 'local' site that should be outside the
proxy.....what can I do to get Aprelium to 'see' 127.0.0.1 ? In this case I am
on a corporate intranet as opposed to my home machine where all activity is on the desktop ?
**********************************************************
The requested URL could not be retrieved

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following situations are possible causing this:

1. Cannot serve requests pointed to the proxy itself. 2. Using Browser Auto-configuration feature without enable this feature in proxy. 3. Using Browser Auto-configuration feature without download auto-configuration file onto proxy.
Please contact administrator if you have still question.

Can you completely disable the proxy on your machine to check whether this is what is causing problems? If you can't, open a command prompt (start->run->cmd) and type "telnet 127.0.0.1 80" - if this connects, your problem is IE. If it doesn't connect, your problem is with Abyss setup/configuration.

Telnet says: "Could not open a connection to host on port 80...connection failed"

I have not altered any default Aprelium settings...though I did peruse the
config file....where the defaults seemed appropriate.

I asked Telnet to connect on 80 ...BUT Aprelium was probably not running
(ugh !!)

I made sure it was running....now Telnet says:

"Could not connect to host on port 23"

(I did use "80" in the Telnet command in both cases)

You did remember to use a space and not a : between the ip and the port to connect to? It sounds like you did in the first case but not the second...
