netscape console auth problem

hi all ,

i have installed netscape console on my local pc to connect to webmail server using LDAP .

when i try to login from my console i get an error

"Http Exception:
Response: Http/1.1 500 Server Error Status 500"

i was told that i need to add my IP to the local.conf file.
but the server that i am connecting to is 2 routers away .
moreover i can not connect via X windows, so i can lunch the netscape console on the server and configure it .
thank you for your help
regards

If you are able to ssh onto the server you can forward your X11 requests via ssh which would allow you to update the appropriate access file or do it from the command line. Otherwise just have someone who does have access, to update the file with your details for you.
