Happy.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>On the other install, it was a little more complicated but ultimately made perfect sense. My WSS server was on a private IP network (192.168.5.x). The URL I assigned it, instead of setting up a local web application and extending it (what I really should have done), actually resolved to the public IP of the site (67.44.44.x). Therefore, when search attempted to run, it itself was unable to *visit* the website, in order to search it. The quick fix was to resolve the IP&#8217;s internally by modifying the local hosts file. The real solution will be to rebuild the sites (backup\/restore collection) to local web applications, that are extended for public access.<\/li>\n<p><\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll add more solutions, when\/if I come across them.
