Re: NLB Web Application Server: Access Issues

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hello,

dumb question: is the IIS using host header ? if so, does it contains the FQDN or shortname or both ?
Do you enforce ssl connection ?
Can you create an html test page to be sure it's not the application that is rejecting the connection ?

telnet NLB.INTERNAL.EXTERNAL.COM 80 works ? if so:
GET / HTTP/1.0
[two return carriage]
