Thanks for your help and yes I rebooted and both services "ColdFusion MX 7 Application Server" and "ColdFusion MX 7 Search Server" are started. The link to the adminisrator is http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm.

On some computers, I have to use http://localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm - they will not accept 127.0.0.1. And I've had the reverse true, also. I have noticed some posters to this forum use a port designation - I think :8888 -
