However, in step 5 (running the start.bat under the Upgrade Appliance Management folder) letter d ( Enter the hostname or the IP address of the distribution server and then click Install. ) I get the webpage cancelled error message and doesnt get the login prompt. And when I run the backup, I get an error message that it failed. So my question is what is missing in my setup why I am not getting the webpage when I enter the distribution server ip address? I am using a laptop directly connected to the ACS using a crossover cable.
