Sidebar not connecting to Activities Server

Hi,

I have run up a Lotus Connections Pilot server and it is running fine. I want to connect my Notes 8 Activities sidebar to the activities server however having entered the preferences it give me an error.

Any thoughts.

The server url I have entered is simply http:/servername.domain.com

Our Connections server is running on Port 9080 so originally I had http:/servername.domain.com:9080 but that didn’t help either.

Thanks

Adam
