I am trying to install Domino 8 server on a standard Windows XP Professional box. The box is connected to a router that has DHCP enabled. I install the Domino Server and then start it. In the console window I notice that there is an error stating that the server is not a valid TCP/IP entry. However it looks like the server continues to load. I can not connect to the server via the Notes Admin because it can not find the server. How do I know what IP address is assigned to the server and is there any tweaks that I need to do so that the server can be recognized ?
Subject: Most common problem: you have to be able to ping the non hirarchical Domino Servername, too.
Subject: tcp/ip error
On the Domino box, bring up a DOS prompt and do a ipconfig /all. That should give you what you need. Also, why not assign a static ip to the Domino box?

Is this a test machine? You really wouldn’t want to run a Domino server on XP or with DHCP in even a structured test environment. For this case, I would make sure the common name of your Domino server matches the host name of your machine, which I will assume is resolvable via DNS. Instead of having Domino server “Server/Acme” on machine “xp”, name your Domino server “xp/Acme”.
