Thanks, Dmitri. When I checked the dnsHostName it wasn't the correct DNS name
for my PC so I guess this means that I can't use "localhost" as the server
name during the installation but have to use the IP address or DNS name of my
PC instead. Does this apply to all instances of ADAM installed on XP PCs?
