What error are you receiving exactly? There can be quite a few reasons that you cannot connect.

As far as connectivity is concerned there are really no post installation steps. You should be able to use the console, add a user and then connect. You will need to verify that you can ping the host system from your desktop. Make sure your hosts file on your desktop is correct if not using DHCP/DNS.

I am not the pro with installs, but most problems encountered like this relate to hostname resolution. Ports can be an issue, but that is more rare.

also, please review the following

What is the URL you entered that causing you received the HTTP 404 not found?

Good point - should be -

Code: Select all

protocol//host:port/ibm/iis/console

where protocol is either HTTP or HTTPS, port is either 9080 or 9443 (ssl)

Both 9080 and 9443 are default values so if you happened to have changed them then use the port you defined.
