APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q172049

SYMPTOMS

When you run Whois Organizations and Lookup IP addresses in the import module, little or no information is returned.

CAUSE

One possible cause is that you are trying to run either of these two features from behind a Proxy server or a firewall. Usage Analyst does not support running either IP resolution or Whois Organizations unless directly connected to the internet.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem:

  • Establish a direct connection to the Internet by a LAN or dial-up connection.
