Accessing the CiscoWorks2000 Server

The CiscoWorks2000 server uses port 1741 by default. If you receive an error message informing you that an alternative port is used instead, verify that you entered the correct URL for the server:

http://server_name:port

where server_name is the name of the machine on which CiscoWorks2000 was installed and port is the port number 1741 or the number supplied during installation.

If you still cannot access the server, enter the following command at a DOS prompt to make sure your server is running:

ping server_name

If you get a message informing you that the server is "alive" and get a proxy error when you try to connect to the server, make sure the proxy is set up correctly. If your server is configured to use a proxy server outside the firewall, you will get proxy errors if you configured the proxy to ignore requests to a certain machine, set of machines, or domain.

You specify a proxy server in Netscape Navigator under Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Proxies and in Internet Explorer under Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings.

Your proxy is set up incorrectly if:

You receive an error message informing you that you are using a proxy outside the firewall.

The proxy server recognizes www-int as an internal server, so it does not proxy requests to that server.

You set up a new internal server, www-nms, but when you make a request to the proxy server, it does not recognize www-nms as an internal server and proxies the request.

The proxy server outside the firewall tries to request data from a server inside the firewall, and the request is blocked.

You get a "Connection Refused" error from the proxy server.
