[mapguide-users] VMWare, MGOS and Windows XP SP2

Fri May 30 00:04:21 EDT 2008

mapguide does default to using 127.0.0.1 as an ip address, check to see what
the webconfig.ini has for

[SiteConnectionProperties]
IpAddress                          =127.0.0.1

try using the actual ip....

you can also run fiddler to see what the http traffic looks like
