Thanks for the response Dave,

But still did not work... I put in localhost and it returned an error
message...
Errors occurred while connecting to XYZMACHINE
Cannot connect to the repository

Analysis server: XYZMACHINE
Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name too long

(Where XYZMACHINE is the computer name)
