Engaged Sweeper II
Hi guys,

I installed Lansweeper on one of our virtual servers and the address is http://localhost:81/default.aspx
For some reason I am able to browse it only from that particular server and not from a any other machine, even a machine that is on the same segment.
Any idea on how to fix it?

Thanks!

Localhost is a loopback to that machine only. To use LanSweeper from a different machine you would have to use the computer name.

Ex: My Server is named File - http://localhost:81 only works from that one server, but http://file:81 will work from anywhere on the lan.
