You can either delete the line in the
system32/etc/hosts where 127.0.0.1 is mapped to the host.domain name or
you can modify it to either:
127.0.0.1 localhost
or
<machine's ip address> host.domain
Explanation
ip address 127.0.0.1 is the default address for
'localhost'. If the etc/hosts file is left with this default:
127.0.0.1 localhost
then there are no problems. However, if the etc/hosts
is modified so that the 'localhost' ip address is now mapped to a
host.domain name, this can cause a problem with remote access. Because now
you have assigned the 'localhost' ip address to the host.domain instead of
'localhost'.
This is similar to the problem reported in
technote:
1000319 "Remote admin console fails with a
ClassCastException".
You must be able to ping the adminserver from both the
adminserver node and the remote admin console node and get the same
results for both (pinging the domain.hostname from either machine should
return the actual ip address of the adminserver node, not
127.0.0.1).
