just recently checked in to a hotel, and have been having problems using their network. I have been getting the following error problem.

*The proxy server has encountered an error (Host 0.0.0.1 is unreachable.). *

I have windows XP SP2, have tried turning Norton off, firewall off, changing internet options and have been unsuccessful.

Please help

Juan

Try using the make a new connection wizard in XP.

It is part of SP2.

Click "start", "settings", "network or dialup connections", "make a new connection"

Whan the wizard starts, tick "accept incoming connections"

That should do it.

Let us know.

While I'm not wizard at this - the address 0.0.0.1 doesn't seem quite right. It seems that it's a reserved address (reserved by the IANA) for their own use.

Check with the desk about this - maybe even ask to use another connection.
