[SOLVED] starting unMENU - unable to resolve "tower" PLBURLF04 error

[mbryanr]

I installed unMenu per the google code site, (btw, very good instructions).  I attempted to access my server through

 

//tower:8080

 

In return I get:

 

This is PLBURLF04  (inside my browser).

 

I've tried Chrome and IE. I've removed and re-installed unMenu @13:51), I've run the command "kill all" and restarted unmenu.  I also ran ps -ef commands to verify it is running.

 

I've attached a syslog (you will probably see my re-installation of unMenu)

 

EDIT:  I tried from another laptop and it works...

It sounds as if your browser on that PC is routing your requests weirdly. 

 

I have absolutely no idea what PLBURLF04 represents.  (not even a google match for it)

Thanks Joe!

more troubleshooting found that -

 

...http://192.168.1.108:8080 goes to the unMenu page. IIRC, I saw a post about modifying the hosts file that will make the "association" between "tower" and 192.168.1.108?

 

 

Edit: Found the "hosts" reference.  Still no dice, but I think I'm closer.

Edit2: It WORKS!

Thanks for the posts in that thread

Here is what I did:

1.  Edit lmhosts.sam file and add this line

192.168.1.108 <press TAB key>  tower

 

2.   Go to Network Connections->, TCP/IP properties/advanced/WINS tab.

Enable LMHOSTS lookup

Enable Netbios

 

Voila...it works.
