Cygwin on the same Windows computer.

are open. Close all such sessions.
Also, make sure your network and the devices on the network are set up correctly. See

CAUTION:
Windows also installs Internet Information Services (IIS) —formerly called
Internet Information Server. That installation does not turn IIS on by
default. Do not enable IIS on the host running NMS200.
Step B: Obtain a Fixed IP Address (if necessary)
The NMS200 Network Management Software has an application server that is required to be
installed on a host that has a fixed IP address or a permanently assigned Dynamic Host
Control Protocol (DHCP) lease.
