Thanks for the reply.

The network is definitely plugged in & as far as I can tell, fully
functional.

I don't have access to the box right now, I will double check the dns name
when I'm back in the office. Is it actually possible for dns name to be
invalid and the network functional?

If it helps, calling System.Net.Dns.GetHostName() in isolation from within a
console application works fine. I can only guess it's something to do with
the IIS hosting, or the context under which it's running (a dedicated AD
service account.)

Is your network card disabled or unplugged?
Check your computer properties as well for the full dns name - does it seem
valid?

I have have just installed WinXp SP2 on a development Workstation running
IIS hosted remoting application.

I have turned the windows firewall off, but the application is failing to
start up with the  error below. There's nothing else of note in the logs,
and the machine seems to be working perfectly otherwise.

Has anyone encountered this before?
