Windows 10: All of a sudden I can't connect to http://localhost:7402/.

All of a sudden I can't connect to http://localhost:7402/. That's the address needed to access my Highpoint RAID interface, which allows me to safely disconnect my backup external HDD enclosure drives. Without access to this, the only safe way to remove the drives is to turn off my PC first, then the enclosure. I've never had an issue connecting before. I tried on 3 browsers, and also disabled Comodo to try it without the firewall.

I did the big spring Windows update the other day. I wonder if that messed something up. What can I do to allow access to this interface/address again?

Access localhost from another computer

Localhost, as the name suggests, points at the localhost. Use the hostname or IP from your computer on their PC's. ie something in the 192.168.x.x or 10.0.0.x range most likely.

 

Failed to connect to localhost

Hi Mike,

One of the possible reasons why you were unable to connect to the localhost
is because of the configuration set within the LAN (Local Area Network). To better assist you, we need the answers to the following questions:

• Are you using a computer connected to a secured network or
  domain?
• Have you tried resetting your router to default?

In the meantime, we suggest running the Network troubleshooter
to find and fix issues with your internet connection. To do this, please follow the steps below:

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Network troubleshooter, and then select Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.
• Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the problem.

If that doesn’t fix your connection problem, try these things:

• Reset the TCP/IP stack
• Release the IP address
• Renew the IP address
• Flush and reset the DNS client resolver cache

To run these networking commands in a command prompt window

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Command prompt, press and hold (or right-click) Command prompt, and then select Run as administrator > Yes.
• At the command prompt, run the following commands in the listed order, and then check to see if that fixes your connection problem:
  • Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
  • Type netsh int ip reset and press Enter.
  • Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
  • Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
  • Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.

We are looking forward to your response.

 

2 x SSD Raid 0 - is this right?

Hey Fits

Can you list a few helpful hints for T ski ,maybe a step by step how to OR what to look out for*Cool

 

Can you access the RAID bios at startup? If you can see the array, then the problem is most likely the hptsvr service not running. If you can't access the Raid at boot, check to see if the card needs to be reseated. My card took some tweaking to to seat properly.
