Hi Thomas, I installed Beacon 1.1 on my laptop (windows xp). At first it appeared that my beacon was not working. I looked at the local loss link and I found system@Myip# in the host name. The IP Address was unresolveable. Neither my hostname or ip address appeared in the central loss or beacon info links. I opened windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts and added my ip mumber and host name. I had to do this on my laptop (dhcp) and my node display (static IP) After stopping and starting the beacon, my hostname appeared on the central loss and Beacon info pages. I did these steps after verifying I had traffic leaving to the beacon server on ports 10003 thru 10004. (ethereal) Thank you, Mike

Once it is installed, you need to click on the "Install Beacon Service (AutoStart)" link and then click on "Manually Start Beacon Service". There will be no output if all goes well. To see if the beacon is working, go to http://beacon.dast.nlanr.net/ and look down the page for your machine's DNS name and IP address. It may take a couple of minutes to appear. It should also appear under the link "Beacon Info" on this page. If this is still not working, you can go to "Control Panel" --> "Administrative Tools" --> "Event Viewer" and click on "Application" on the left. This should list any errors from the beacon.
