(== web application address) (Farm config: 2 Load balanced(network)WFE's + 1APPS/INDEXER + SQL 2005 CLUSTER) All Windows 2003 Server SP2 32Bit. I've found a Microsoft supposing fix for this: We have to specify host names Method 2: Specify host names To specify the host names that are mapped to the loopback address and can connect to Web sites on your computer, follow these steps: 1. Set the DisableStrictNameChecking registry entry to 1.

Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. 3. In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0 4. Right-click MSV1_0, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value. 5. Type BackConnectionHostNames, and then press ENTER. 6. Right-click BackConnectionHostNames, and then click Modify. 7. In the Value data box, type the host name or the host names for the sites that are on the local computer, and then click OK. 8. Quit Registry Editor, and then restart the IISAdmin service.
