Installing IAS 6.0 SP3 w/DHCP, Loopback

Hi,

Since you are using iAS on Win2K at home, I assume that you are not be

having a network henceforth U must be using Loop Back Adapter. Please follow the

following steps & let me know if it helps.

- Install a loop back adapter & ensure the PC has a static IP address. Disable

the DHCP since it assigns a dynamic IP address.

- Then install a iAS SPx compatible web server & ensure the installation is

complete & successful.

- Now install iAS and I'm sure you will succeed.

NB iAS requires a static IP Address to work with, since DHCP assigns dynamic ip

address, iAS will not work properly.
