In addition to the required service pack levels, ensure that the system has all of the latest critical fixes issued by Microsoft.

To obtain the latest service packs and critical fixes, see the Microsoft Windows Update Web site.

Ensure that you have Windows Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 and 7.0 or higher with the latest critical security updates, and the Adobe Flash plugin installed.

If the database server and WebSphere Commerce server are in different machines, the clocks for both machines must be the same. Clocks which are synchronized with each other will avoid the available order items being treated as future orders.

You might encounter permission problems when opening programs as a non-administrator on Windows 2008 and Windows Vista, with UAC enabled. To avoid these problems:

• Right click the program file or shortcut, and select...

  Run as administrator

• For console based programs, right-click cmd.exe and select...

  Run as administrator

  Execute the command from the new console.

Network configuration requirements

The system must have a resolvable fully qualified host name. The fully qualified host name is the host name combined with the domain name.

For example, if the host name is system1 and the domain is mydomain.com, the fully qualified host name is system1.mydomain.com.

To return the IP address of the system, issuing the following command:

nslookup fully_qualified_host_name
